Foreword A different version yet of a guy getting a bunch of abused girls and trying to raise them to be human beings while not managing to keep them out of his bed. A quite similar flavor to 'snowbound', 'instant family', and when I get it posted, 'stray kids' ************************************************* Daughters -- Ready to wear By MrJenkins -- MrJenkins314@gmail.com Chapter Zero -- How we got this way. Mook -- one of the worst 1% or so on the bad end of the distribution curve measuring violence and number of total arrests. Probably a druggie or at least an alkie. Not only bad people, but stupid bad people. Mooks would likely be featured participants in both sides of the report of the gal that had been in emergency for her sixth rape. The guy who knocks over the same convenience store that he just got out of jail for robbing last year -- with the same clerk at the register. Mooks are among the lowest of the low of the losers, although a different subset than the street people. ----------------------------------------------- I live in a major metropolitan area -- you would recognize the name if I gave it. As with all such there are the areas on 'The Wrong Side of the Track', and those who run the businesses that are made profitable by laws that forbid them. This city isn't particularly noteworthy in these matters except, perhaps, to the statisticians. Someone looking in the right place might note that certain classes of crime and violence were a few points lower than might have been expected. Corruption of politicians and police had a bit different shape than would have been typical. Recorded drug use might also have been seen to be a bit atypical -- not enough to raise red flags to outsiders -- just a bit odd. Boss was the current head of that culture. Even if I were to give her name, you wouldn't recognize it unless you were in a very small clique from our area. And even though I speak of Boss as female, I deliberately flipped a coin when I started telling my tale to choose a gender. At any rate, the above is just background -- other than to set the scene and environment that I and my four girls lived in, it doesn't have much to do with the story. I almost never had to deal directly with a mook, not significantly more often than you might. To the extent that I had anything to do with the hard crime stuff, it was at the high level bookkeeping level, and I worked as the keeper of the data, not one who had any knowledge of actual content. A good computer geek never looks at the data in his care unless there is direct need to do so. In this kind of business, live computer geeks never, ever look at the data unless explicitly instructed to do so by high authority. I was at the time, and last time I checked, still am a live computer geek. As much as anything, Boss might be described as an intelligent evil overlord. She pretty well ran the part of the city that the official, recognized government didn't want to be responsible for, along with a pretty fair chunk of related legitimate businesses. She ran it well enough that there wasn't much of an effort made to disturb her. She rewarded loyalty and competence -- and allowed people who exhibited those traits to quit and get out of her world on suitable notice. Mind you, crossing her was a real, real bad idea, nearly automatic qualification for consideration for a Darwin Award -- but for the most part, an honest 'No, I won't do that.' was respected. She was well aware that keeping the peons happy, safe and well fed was a route to stability and profit, while allowing the last few percent to play rough so long as they restricted their play to those who also chose to play. What she had to sell to the Powers-That-Be was to keep the 2% mooks in their own zoo and out of the sight and mind of the top 75%, and keep the better 23% of her part reasonably safe and well behaved. What she had to sell to us, her people, down to and including the mooks, was stability. We could trust her to play by the rules she set and to not change those rules without cause and notice. If you stayed within those rules and paid the tithes, she would not only leave us alone, but would protect and support us. On the other hand, if we broke her rules we could trust her to come down fast and hard on us. She was the local Duke with high and low justice. She delegated some of the low justice, but seemed to keep a careful eye on those who had the authority to dispense it. She kept the drugs that did reach the schools fairly expensive and clean, kept a fairly safe market for the mainstream drug users to buy drugs that were up to spec, with a fairly stable supply chain and kept the bad druggies out of the news. This hardly left a perfect world, but it was a world that by and large worked fairly well. She understood quite well that her end of the distribution curve was the end that the rest of the world didn't want, couldn't handle and would much rather didn't exist. I knew some of the political back room maneuvering that went on with the city government, but was careful to stay out of it. Boss respected that wish and allowed me to have the public role of head of Information Services for one of her public businesses. I was into the other part to the extent that I had two separate sets of users and databases to maintain. Since I wasn't a direct part of the accounting department, I didn't need to know the content of the second set of data, nor did I need to know what the second set of users did. They had a separate facility with a remote link to yet a third data center with fairly heavy duty cutouts between them and the servers. I kept a warm set of backups for those servers with a distinctly pruned set of data and provisions to wipe the working set on a moments notice while swapping in the warm set. My second, Kathy Vargas, was in the know for this part of the double bookkeeping, other than that, we had two sets of system admins with no overlap. This was hardly a zero risk job, but so long as Boss was in charge, it seemed as if the risk-reward ratio was acceptable. Besides, it was a very interesting, challenging job -- that incidentally, paid quite well. Besides, I was one of Boss's projects, not terribly unlike the girls that where just about to be gifted to me. My parents hadn't been quite as bad as the girl's mother apparently was -- I at least knew who my father had been. I was eight when they had run afoul of the cops and been sent to prison. By now I realized that they wouldn't have lived much longer if they hadn't gotten picked up by the civil authorities. Either one of their fellow mooks, or one of Boss's minions would have taken them out soon. Even I, as a kid, knew that they were guilty of at least as much as they had been charged with. Besides, by then I stayed away from them as much as I could, slept there some of the time and ate there when I could find food. It wasn't much of a loss to me. I had been a very junior member of one of the local gangs -- Boss had me brought in, interviewed me for a few minutes then called for the gang head and second. They reported that I was one of the thinkers -- even at eight, and she fixed me up with one of her lieutenants for fostering. That had hardly been a bed of roses, I was used to doing as I wished, or at least being the one who made the decisions, but Al had stayed with it and got me headed in a direction with better long term prospects. When I showed up in the upper part of the class standings for a while, Boss had called me in for another interview. She offered that if I kept my class standings up and stayed off drugs and the like, to send me to school to learn useful skills. The two chains she attached were that, one, she got to veto some possible choices. I had to choose a line of study that would address a need in her organization, and two, I would have to come back and work for her for a minimum of five years. The first such interview was at twelve. She made it very clear that this was an opportunity, but I had to do my part. If I didn't keep the quality of my schooling up and stay clean, it would be withdrawn. The carrot was that so long as I stayed with it, I would be put in fast track classes and have a mentor to guide me. Again, it wasn't an entirely smooth process, one of the mentors assigned couldn't stand me, nor me him, but Boss noticed and fixed that one before things went totally to hell. I went to work in her IS department at 15, mostly went on to college locally while I worked -- then two and a half years out of state for my Masters and had been full time since then. I had contingency plans for if I needed to cut and run, but saw no evidence that I was going to need them till Boss started to fail from old age. With luck this would be another 20 years. ***************************************************** Chapter 1 -- Saturday Night and I become a parent/master/slave. The knock on the door came around 9:00PM. I was sitting in front of my computer reading a story from ASSTR with one of my good pictures of a naked preteen girl in another window while I stroked my cock. I quickly closed both windows and tucked my tool back into my pants. then zipped them up as I went to the door. The knock sounded again, "Coming!" I hollered as I unbolted the door. I opened it to find one of Boss's lieutenants, a guy I dealt with occasionally in my work, standing in the hall outside my apartment door with four small girls. "Boss sends you gifts and a duty Alan.", he said with a wry grin. I looked at him, then the girls for a long moment, then stepped back inside swinging the door wide. "Do come in, there must be more to the story than that." He herded the girls through the door, there were three of varying sizes plus a baby, not an infant, but probably not yet a toddler. I closed the door behind them and raised a brow at the guy -- Frank something I thought. "Girls, Boss gives you Alan Collins. Treat him gently and train him well, and he'll do for you. Alan, Boss gives you Andria, Rebecca, Elizabeth, and Callie Chapman for your harem. Treat them kindly and train them properly and they should give you good service for years.", recited Frank. Then as an aside to me, "Spoken per instructions from Boss." I looked back at the girls, the oldest one, perhaps nine, held the baby and looked at me with an appraising look. Her next younger sister glared at me, the smaller one huddled at her side. The baby was crying, the kind of exhausted, quiet, cry that comes from one that has sort of given up. I could smell long overdue diaper along with a heavy fug of unwashed kids, cigarette and pot smoke. I looked back at Frank. "Their mother got offed in a bad drug deal night before last. One of the neighbors heard the kids crying this evening in the apartment where they were staying. The word was passed up the line and one of the boys went to investigate and found them, then brought them in, Boss sent them to you.", he said. "How long has it been since she", indicating the baby, "had a clean diaper or something to eat?", I asked the older girl. She thought a moment, "Last diaper we had was this morning. I gave her the last of the milk around noon." "Can you make a run for baby supplies?", I asked Frank. "Already taken care of. Ramon's old lady has a kid about that size, she's bringing some stuff over. Should be here in five or ten.", he replied. "Do any of you three have bad hurts that need fixed right now?", I asked the three girls. They shook their heads. "Can you hang for a few? I need to take care of this one, but would like a bit more info in a few minutes.", I asked him. "Sure.", he went and sat on my couch. "Come on girls.", I told them and headed for the bathroom. "Go potty if you need to.", I told the two younger kids as I cleaned off the bathroom counter. I put my bath towel from this morning on the counter, then took the baby from 'Andria?' and sat her in the bathtub. I removed the quite filthy dress, then the exceedingly filthy diaper, folding it up the best I could, and dumping it in the trash. I took the baby and sat her on the tub edge, then had her sister hold her for a moment while I got the water on and the temp adjusted. By now the crying was showing more strength from the abrupt handling by a stranger. I had Andria kneel and hold the baby so she was standing in the tub while I hosed her off. This got me some serious screams, then sputtering as I turned the hose on the top of her head. She was a very bright red from diaper rash, the worst case I'd ever seen, with a few running sores on her buttocks. Figuring that I already had a very unhappy baby on my hands, and that my shampoo would probably be gentler than hand soap, I washed off her bottom and pussy with the shampoo. It obviously stung, and her sister protested, "You're hurting her." "I am, and I'm sorry, but we need to get her clean for the rash to heal.", I told her. "Hang in there for another two or three minutes and we'll be done." I took some more shampoo, gave baby's head another squirt with the hose, then spent fifteen seconds scrubbing her hair, rinsed her hair to screams and coughs, then another dollop of shampoo and a quick scrub of her body outside of the diaper area. I rinsed baby thoroughly, lifted her out of the tub and onto the counter, then dried her gently with a clean towel. About then the diaper supplies arrived. Figuring that I could apply diaper rash ointment well enough, I asked the lady to fix a quick bottle, a half since it had been quite a while since the last one -- hours for baby, years for me. I put an antibiotic ointment on the sores, covered all the reddened parts with rash ointment, then took another minute to look her over carefully, front and back. She looked thin for a baby, but beyond that and the diaper rash, there were no obvious problems. About then the bottle arrived, baby grabbed it and started nursing frantically. I put a diaper on her, somewhat loosely, then wrapped her in a clean bath towel in lieu of a blanket. Andria was looking anxiously at what I was doing with her sister. I was aware that the other two girls had used the toilet while I was cleaning up baby, they were standing huddled together the other side of Andria. "Do you need to use the toilet?", I asked Andria. She looked at her little sister, then at the toilet. "I can hold a baby for a minute or three while you do your business.", I assured her. She dithered for another few seconds then went over to the toilet, pulled down her pants and sat down. I watched for a second or so then picked up baby, cradled her in my arm, adjusted the towel/blanket and helped her straighten the bottle. Then went back out into the living room. Frank and the lady were waiting. "I'm Alan Collins, the IT guy.", I said holding out the hand that wasn't supporting a baby to her." She grinned a little at that, "Rachel Vasca.", she replied as she gave my hand a brief shake. "Thank you for bringing the rescue supplies, I don't stock much baby stuff these days.", I said to her. "What all did you bring me, and what do I owe you?" "Boss is taking care of that part.", put in Frank. "A pack of diapers, two dozen. A can of dried formula and bottle stuff. The diaper rash ointment and some powder and oil, baby wipes and a dozen jars of baby food.", she said, "I put in some clothes that mine has outgrown, she looks a little small, I expect they'll fit OK. Should be enough to get you by for a day or two." "You're a lifesaver.", I told her. That sounds like it will keep her till tomorrow afternoon just fine, I can make a run to the stores by then. Could you do me a quick review on how to make a bottle with that stuff, it's been quite a while?" "Two scoops of powder for a full bottle, water just barely warm enough to feel warm. Shake it up good. Give it to the kid.", was her quick answer. About then, baby ran dry on the bottle and squawked. Andria was hovering at my side, so I handed baby to her, she expertly put baby on her shoulder and patted her back. "Thank you again.", I said to Rachel. She grinned a little, waved and departed. "Where it's been quite a while since she ate, let's let that set for fifteen or thirty minutes, then she can have some more.", I told Andria. "Doc's expecting you and the girls, 10AM tomorrow.", said Frank. "Sounds like a real good idea.", I replied. "Anything specific, or just a general checkup?" "Just a checkup, although if I were you I'd worry about the clap or AIDS till they're checked out.", he responded. That thought gave me a start, "They've been living that rough?", I asked. "I've heard that the mother was letting her boyfriends use the girls in trade for drugs.", he said a bit grimly. "I hadn't heard about that till I started checking this evening. I plan to have words with the folk that should have been paying attention to such and bringing it to our attention." "O--K.", I replied. "Anything else I need to know for tonight?" "Just this.", he replied, then squatted down. "Girls!", he said, not roughly, but it got their attention. "Andria choose for you. She decided to have me bring you to Alan instead of the cops, thence Social Services. You are stuck with that decision for a week. If you try to leave here, unless Alan is with you, security will catch you and bring you back. You won't like it when they do, especially the second time. After the week is up, you can change your mind, although the alternative is still the cops and social services. You understand me Andria?" She nodded. "He looks OK so far.", she said. "Here's a card. If you have a bad problem, call. I trust Alan to let you call if you want to. If you call about something that neither Alan nor I think is important, you won't like my response though, so save it for problems that you don't think can wait for a week. I'll be back then. OK Andria?" She nodded again, Frank stood and departed as well. ************************************************* Chapter 2 -- Feeding and bathing the girls. I looked at my new responsibilities. They didn't look to be full sisters, a fair variety of features, hair and body types. "So --", I said, looking them over, "Andria.", pointing at the largest girl, a dirty blond with gray eyes and an narrow face. "Rebecca?", at the next tallest -- probably a fairly light blond under the grease, blue eyes. She gave a small wary nod. "Elizabeth?", indicating the smallest girl, a dark brunette with brown eyes and a rounder face. One would suspect a Mexican father. Another wary nod. "And Callie?", pointing at baby, hair quite dark and fairly long for a little. She was nearly asleep in Andria's arms. A nod from Andria. "Do any of you have hurts or other problems more important than something to eat?", I asked. Three head shakes, no waiting. I looked at them for a long moment, then went back into the bathroom and got the towel I used to dry Callie and two more. I waved them into the kitchen/dining area, put the damp towel on the table, then one of the dry ones on top. "Lay her down here.", I told Andria, Then covered Callie with another towel in addition to the one she was wrapped in. I heated up a quick can of soup, split it in thirds and gave each girl a small slice of cheese and a third of a slice of bread with butter and jam, along with a glass of water. At Andria's look I said, "You've been running short. A little bit now, then a bath and some more. Then I need to look you over and brush your hair and I'll feed you some more yet if you're still awake. You can have more water now if you want. I'll be getting up every two hours to change Callie tonight, so you can have this much more to eat each time I get up if you want to get up to eat it." She shrugged and inhaled what I had given her. In another minute or so, the other two were done as well. "Now a bath for each of you. I need to look you over carefully to see what I'm getting into here, so for tonight, I'm going to scrub you as well.", I told them, picking up Callie from the table. She squeaked a little then her eyes closed again. "Come on kids, I stood at the door and they reluctantly walked through. I had Andria grab the washcloth and hand towel that I had used to clean Callie and took them to the clothes washer. I flipped up the top, pointed at it and commanded, "Strip, clothes in there." At their look of beginning panic, I knelt in the doorway, still holding Callie, but blocking the door. "For tonight, all I'm going to do is to wash you, dry you, brush and comb your hair, and check you for problems.", I told them. "I won't fuck you until you want me to, and you don't have to suck me unless you want to -- and even if you wanted to, not tonight in any case, not till Doc has said that you're clean." Andria hesitated for a long moment, then tossed the towel and washcloth she was carrying into the washer, stripped off her shirt and sat down to take off her shoes and socks. Pants and panties came off and all the clothes except the shoes went into the washer. I looked at the shoes, sneakers in bad condition, and told her to toss them in too. The middle girl followed her reluctantly, and the youngest didn't protest as Andria stripped her. "Thank you Andria.", I said as I added some of my clothes to make a full load, put some soap and bleach into the washer and started it. "Now, into the bathroom.", I told them. I took them into my bedroom, handed Callie to Andria for a moment, and went to the kitchen for a garbage bag. I flipped back the covers. spread the bag on the sheet, then covered it with a towel. I laid Callie on the towel, then covered her, she squirmed a moment then was still. I turned to follow Andria into the bathroom and got my first clear look at her back since she took the clothes off. "Shit!", I said softly. Her back, from neck to lower calves, was crisscrossed with welts, old white lines along with a number of new ones that were scabbed and red looking. "Who whipped you like that?", I blurted out, realizing as it came out of my mouth what the answer probably was. "My 'mother'.", was the bitter reply. I turned Rebecca and Elizabeth to look at their backs, they had scars too, although no fresh ones, and much fewer. "Why?", I asked Andria. "I wouldn't suck one of her johns, he stank and when he shoved it in my face it tasted awful. I bit him.", she looked at me defiantly. I looked at her for a long moment. "Good for you.", I said. The defiance changed to a bit of surprise. I started the water running into the tub, got it adjusted then herded the kids in. "I need to look you over very carefully, all parts. I can wash you and examine you as I wash and rinse, or you can wash then I check for clean and examine you when you get done.", I said to the three of them. Andria looked at her sisters for a moment, they were sitting in the water and looking apprehensive, not quite crying. "You can wash me first.", she said. "Any sore spots I should be careful of besides your back?", I asked. "My head, the bitch yanked my hair real hard when I bit the fucker, and threw me against the wall." "I'll try to be careful, tell me if I'm hurting you.", I said, then sent the water to the shower hose and got her head and body wet. I washed her hair gently, although at some length. "Keep your head down and eyes closed.", I told her. I'm going to let the shampoo soak for a bit while I wash some of the rest." I gently washed her back, she flinched and whimpered a bit as the soap got in the new stripes, some of the scabs came off gentle as I was and the wounds bled a little. I then rinsed her head and washed her face with the cloth. As it came clean I could see a bruise on the left side. Her arms were thin and her collar bones and ribs were quite evident. More bruises showed on her arms, what you might expect of a hand holding her as she struggled and was whipped. Hair and skin noticeably lightened as I washed. I had her stand. Her pussy slit came high, and the lips made a prominent mound. Her nipples where still flat to her chest and small. Hip bones make lumps at her side, a little girl that was much thinner than optimum -- not quite emaciated, but one that could clearly do with being fed up. I washed her stomach and legs, then had her turn and washed her back. I then had her lean over and spread her legs well apart. I spread her butt cheeks, no evidence of abuse there at least beyond the whip welts. I washed her butt crack well, then had her turn around and spread her legs again. I washed her pussy with soap, being thorough, but not lingering, then had her squat into the water and rinsed her with my bare hand for a few seconds then took the hose and rinsed her down again standing. "That'll do for now, I will need to examine your pussy a bit more when we get done here.", I told her, lifting her out of the water. I gently padded her back dry, then handed her a towel. I turned my attention to Rebecca. "Are you Rebecca, Becky or something else?", I asked her. She huddled with her little sister and didn't reply. After a moment, Andria spoke, "She mostly goes by Sissy." Then, "Let him wash you, he didn't hurt me, didn't even feel me up much." At my gesture, Sissy came over to me. I sat her down in the tub and hosed her down. She sputtered and squawked, trying to pull away. I held her and told her, "Mouth and eyes closed. It will be worse when I wash you with soap if you don't." She sat there rigid under my hands, still pulling away for a moment then visibly forced herself to relax. "Do you have sore spots?", I asked her. She shook her head, not looking at me. "Close eyes and mouth then, keep your head down while I wash your hair.", I told her, then squirted a stream of shampoo onto her head. I scrubbed her hair fairly vigorously, after just a moment, she started crying, got some shampoo in her mouth, squalled louder and tried to pull away again. I held her, and rinsed her face off with the shower hose. "Stop that.", I said rather sharply, giving her a light thump on the head. She froze, then mostly muffled the sobs. I worked on her hair for another moment, then rinsed her head off. The hair didn't squeak very well yet, the water in the tub looked pretty dark. I opened the drain to let the level go down and left the water run through the hose. I washed Sissy's upper body off with soap and a cloth, she too was quite thin, but fewer bruises and welts. I had her stand and spread, no obvious marks on her lower body, buttocks or rectum, bruises on one leg and one arm had a lump and bend in a non standard place. I checked and it wasn't tender, so could wait for tonight. I washed her lower legs and feet, then pussy, then had her sit in the water again. "I'm going to wash your hair another session.", I told her. "Why? You already washed it.", she protested. "Because it isn't clean yet.", I told her. "You didn't wash her hair twice.", she complained, crying a bit. "It isn't very clean either, but she has sore spots on her head.", I answered, "I'll be washing it more for the next few days till it's properly clean. For now, if you close mouth and eyes, and hold still, I'll be done in just a couple of minutes. If not, it will take longer and hurt more." "Quit being a baby and let him finish!", Andria told her sharply. Sissy shut up and bent her head, scrunching up her eyes. "Not so tight.", I told her, "Just shut will work better." She relaxed and I hosed down her head for a moment then shampooed her another session. I cut it short after twenty seconds or so, figuring to reward Sissy for good behavior. I rinsed her off, first sitting, then standing. Her pussy silt didn't come as high, and her pussy mound was less prominent than her older sisters. The check of her ass crack showed nothing of concern. I squeegeed her off a bit with my hands, then lifted her out of the tub and spent a long moment drying her off, then wrapped the towel around her hair, gave her a brief hug that she tolerated stiffly, then turned to Elizabeth. The water in the tub was lower and the murky had lightened up a bit so I closed the drain again. "What should I call you?", I asked the smallest girl. "Lizzy.", she replied shyly, but with much less evidence of fear or anger than Sissy had shown. She moved over to me with little coaxing and I repeated the shampoo. Either Lizzy was enough more relaxed, or smarter than her sister because she sat there quietly while I shampooed her and rinsed her head. Her hair squeaked well enough the first try, and while she spit and sputtered a little, she didn't seem distressed. She had a pretty good bruise on one arm and one leg, no fresh welts but a horrible collection of old ones, given that she didn't look like she was very close to six yet. Fewer than her sisters, but not what one might hope to see in a preschool girl. Her pussy slit came high like Andria although her pussy mound was pretty flat to her crotch. I got them all dried off well enough, coating Andria's fresh welts with an antibiotic ointment, then went to my dresser and got three fairly good t-shirts and tossed them to the girls. "Here, wear these for tonight.", I told them. "Get Callie and come to the kitchen.", I told Andria, guiding the other two out of my bedroom. Another can of soup split, a slightly larger piece of cheese and a quarter cup of raisins later, they seemed to be starting to relax a little. I checked Callie's diaper, it was still dry, but the process woke her. I fixed another half bottle, she grabbed it and started working at it very single mindedly. I took the girls back into the bathroom, found a spare toothbrush, then insisted that they take turns using it. This took a bit, I got the distinct impression that tooth brushing wasn't a usual event in their lives. Once done I took them back to the living room. "One last thing, I need to look closely at your pussies for a moment. I don't need to touch if you want to spread your legs, then use your fingers to spread your pussy lips wide for me. Or I can hold them if you want me to." I got a small flashlight, then had Sissy take Callie from Andria. I took the t-shirt off Andria then had her sit with her hips near the edge of the couch and her legs hanging off. "Now spread your legs wide.", I told her. She did, I looked at her for a moment, she didn't move to spread her pussy lips so I gently took my right hand and pushed them apart. With her stretched out like that I could clearly see that her cherry was long gone and I could see well down into her vagina. I looked for a long moment, then bent to sniff. No surprising odors, soap and a faint smell of little girl pussy. "You gonna lick her while you're there?", sneered Sissy. "Not tonight.", I told her. "Why did you do that then?", she asked, "You like to smell pussy?" "As a matter of fact, I do, but for tonight I was checking to see if she smelled bad. If she did, I'd know we had another problem because it would mean that she was infected with something. If it was bad enough, I might want to get her to Doc tonight. I didn't smell anything but clean little girl though, and didn't see anything that looked like a problem for tonight, so I'm done with that for now." Then looking at Andria's face and holding out a hand to sit her up, "I didn't ask you, what do you want me to call you?" She paused for a moment, "Could I be Andi?", she asked. "My mom used Andria when she was yelling at me." "You certainly may.", I told her, pulling her into a brief hug. She stiffened for a moment then relaxed and hugged me back for a second. I had her turn her head and peered into her ears, seeing nothing of immediate concern, same with a quick look at her throat. I moved over to Sissy. She made a face, but stripped off the t-shirt and scooted to the edge of the couch, spread her legs, then pulled her pussy wide. I looked, hymen was gone and I could see deep into her. She too had no real odor, which was good. I held out a hand, she rolled away. Oh well. She did move to the edge of the couch and allowed me to peer into her ears then mouth. Once more, nothing that seemed to need action tonight. I turned to Lizzy. Without asking, she stripped off the shirt, flopped onto her back, spread her knees wide and used her hands to pull her labia apart. I looked, once more, no hymen. Unfortunately when I sniffed, this time I caught a whiff of something bad. I looked more closely and saw redness and sort of graininess's to her vaginal opening. "Does your pussy hurt or itch, especially when you pee?", I asked her. She nodded, "A little." An examination of Lizzy's ears and mouth seemed to show a bit of redness. She didn't admit to ear or throat pain. "I'll have Doc look at it in the morning, it doesn't look bad enough to get him out this late.", I told her. "Stand up please, Andi.", I said to her. She stood and I moved to sit on the couch. "Now, hold your arms out and turn around very slowly." She did, as she turned sideways to me, I had her pause, raise her arm high, then lower it. I took her hand and examined it, more scars but no obvious damage. She finished the turn, I examined her other arm. She had whip scars across her front as well as her back, nothing new there. The fresh welts on her back didn't show obvious signs of infection. I got my camera and took a number of shots to document her condition. She was a dirty blond, about 4'-4" tall, quite thin for her bone structure. Grey eyes, fair skin. From the look of them, I suspected that they each had a different father. I told her that she could dress and turned my attention to Sissy. Sissy stood in front of me, glaring. I ignored her hostility for the moment and repeated the careful examination of her body. As she raised her arm, I noted once more that her left forearm didn't look quite straight. I insisted that she let me examine it, there was a distinct lump with a bend in the middle of one bone. It wasn't sore, so I let it go for now. She too had whip scars both front and back and was quite thin. Sissy was at least 4" shorter than her older sister, a blue eyed, blond with fair skin. These two girls looked like northern European stock. When Sissy finished, Lizzy stood without prompting. I had to slow her down a little as she turned. She had few scars on her front and no fresh welts. Skin, hair and eyes were much darker than her sisters, she looked like her bio dad was likely a Mexican. She wasn't as thin as her sisters, although she too could stand to be fed up quite a bit. I found a hairbrush in a drawer, a left over from a previous girlfriend, and took my comb out of my hip pocket. I had Lizzy stand between my legs, sort of sitting on the edge of the couch in front of me as I started combing her hair. Dark brown and well onto her shoulders, It wasn't too bad for tangles, and I saw no evidence of lice or other varmints as I worked. In a few moments I switched to the hairbrush, spending a full five minutes brushing it till it was pretty dry. When I finished and pulled her against me in a brief hug, she leaned into it, then when I picked up her t-shirt, held up her arms for me to dress her. Sissy, well, she endured the hair brushing. Her hair was shorter and didn't take too long to get the tangles out. I didn't try to get it dry nor to hug her when I finished, just told her that we were done for now, gave her a t-shirt and let her move away from me. I had a problem with Andria, trying to avoid hurting her with the scalp damage, but wanting to get tangles out of her hair so it wouldn't be a problem in the future. She tried to be brave, but when tears started running down her cheeks I gave up and figured to work on it over days instead of tonight. She too accepted a hug when I was done, I paid attention to Sissy without looking directly at her, she seemed to be a bit jealous, but when I offered an arm, she drew back. I held Andria for a long moment, then stood and helped her with her t-shirt. "Do you guys like ice cream?", I asked. Hearing an affirmative response, I went back to the kitchen and dished up four bowls of chocolate ice cream with one small scoop in three of them and a somewhat larger portion in the fourth. "Eat it slowly, you'll freeze your throats if you try to gulp it down.", I said as I placed the three bowls on the table with a spoon each. I fetched Callie from her place on the couch, and woke her. She fussed and cried a bit, but when I put a small bit of the ice cream in her mouth, she found a reason to like me. I fed her about half the serving in our bowl, after a couple of minutes, her fuss was because I wanted every third bite and she wasn't all that convinced that she should share. When we got done, Andi got a warm washcloth from the bathroom and washed her face. Callie sat on my lap for a little, then dropped back off to sleep. I checked, her diaper was a bit damp now so I gave her to Andi to change. By now, it was nearing midnight, I checked my spare bedroom, it had a queen bed that looked to be in good enough shape for tonight. I got a spare blanket and made a pad on the floor for Callie, put the garbage sack on it for a rubber sheet then a large bath towel for a sheet. That and a light blanket, folded in thirds made what looked like a usable bed for a baby. I put the girls in bed, moved their clothes from the washer to the dryer, dumped the wastebasket with the foul diaper into a garbage bag and sealed it. I set my alarm for two hours and went to bed myself. When I got up and checked, Callie was still dry, two hours later she was not only wet but had a messy diaper as well. I took her to my bathroom, laid her on a towel on the counter to clean her up. When I got her clean, her diaper rash was less vivid, she was still was more than a bit sore but much of the general redness had faded. The sight and feel of her little pussy was too much temptation, I fondled her gently for a minute or two, Callie quite evidently enjoying the sensation. This left me with a major hard on tenting my shorts, I pushed them down, put a bit of baby oil on her pussy, then rubbed the head of my cock against her, again slowly and gently. A minute or so of that and I gave my cock a few strokes while pushing gently against her opening then filled her pussy slit and coated her bottom with cum. Using that as lube, I continued to rub her clit gently for another minute, then wiped her up, put on ointment and a clean diaper. I fixed her a bottle and she took it eagerly, I sat and held her while she ate for a few minutes, then getting sleepy, just took her to bed with me, laying there with her nursing for a few minutes. She finished the half bottle, I helped her burp then she went back to sleep and so did I. ************************************************* Chapter 3 -- Sunday morning, the second day of girls. I woke again, it was early daylight. When I checked, Callie's diaper was still dry, I fondled her for a bit through the leg hole of her diaper, then used the removable tapes to open it up so I could see and reach better. Once again, I was hard in seconds, once again, after a few minutes of fondling her pussy, I rubbed the head of my hard-on in her slit, then came all over her pussy. This time I just closed up the diaper when I was done, cuddled and played with the baby for a few minutes and we went back to sleep. When I woke again around eight, Callie was fussing. I got up, cleaned her up, gave her one more deposit of cum in her pussy hole, then fixed a bottle and tucked her in with Andi. I did my morning bathroom routine, then got the girls up around 8:30, fed them some bacon, eggs and tortillas, a jar of baby food for Callie, then got them dressed and hair and teeth brushed for the doctor visit. Doc's office was just down the street. Even though this wasn't the best part of town, the local neighborhood was one that was watched by Boss's minions, so it was safe to walk with the girls to their appointment. Doc was expecting us, we were his only appointment for the day. He did a comprehensive examination on all four girls. Lizzy went first, she didn't seem to mind stripping for Doc and having him examine every part of her body. He took swabs from her vagina, and mouth saying that it appeared as if she had a mild yeast infection, didn't look like a STD at this point, but he would do a thorough check. A blood sample, urine sample, stool sample completed the workup for now. Doc gave her a shot, then a pill and a prescription for more. He wanted her back in three days for a followup when the tests got back from the lab. Lizzy was an early five years old, about 35" tall and 30 pounds, a bit short for her age and rather underweight for her bone structure, age and height. Andi visibly chose to set a good example for Sissy, she stripped when requested and didn't protest as Doc went over her whole body in detail. She was an early nine, 4'-4" tall and a little under 50 pounds. Again, vaginal swabs, blood, urine and stool samples. He examined her scalp, said it would be sore for a few days, but didn't require attention. The whip welts he painted with an ointment that should keep them from cracking, there was no indication that they needed anything else but time. He gave her a pill for the pain, a small jar of the ointment, then a prescription for more of each. He finished up by noting that while the very occasional nine year old got pregnant, that Andi was small and thin. The risk of pregnancy would be quite low for at least another year even if I fed her up quite a bit. Sissy clearly considered making a fight of the examination, a sharp word from her sister and a light tap on the top of the head from me, and she grudgingly sat on the edge of the examining table. She glared, but didn't overtly protest as I stripped her, then stared at the ceiling and walls as Doc examined her. He was even more careful with Sissy to keep the touching professional and impersonal, I was a bit impressed as I knew that one of the reasons that he worked for Boss was a scandal with young female patients. On the other hand, boss had matched him up with an eight year old orphan, now ten -- from similar circumstances as my set. I had her in a math and computer class and knew her as a strong personality that took no shit off nobody. She clearly adored Doc and had bullied him into taking much better care of himself since she moved into his life. It seemed as if it was a fair chance that he was getting plenty at home, and feared repercussions there if he strayed. He found nothing of concern except the crooked arm that I had already noted. He did say that he suspected some old injuries to ribs, that he was planning to have full x-rays of all four of them to check for hidden damage. Sissy at a mid seven years, measured a little less than 4' tall and weighed about 39 pounds. She was probably the most underweight of the four. Callie, about 13 months and eighteen pounds, other than underweight and diaper rash did not seem to have any problems of note. She too had vaginal, blood and stool samples taken. Doc pressed on her lower abdomen and got a urine sample as well. A small supply and prescription for a better rash ointment was a part of the advice. He gave a quick look at their teeth, and strongly suggested that a visit to a dentist would be a good thing in the near future. X-rays showed evidence of old rib cracks on all three of the larger girls, some that Doc said were probably healed breaks on Andi. He advised that we see a specialist for Sissy's arm, that in the short term it would be OK, but some reconstruction would probably be a good idea in the not terribly distant future. We discussed their state of nutrition -- he definitely agreed with me that a bit more body fat would be a good thing, along with more muscle mass. In the short term, pushing high protein, high energy foods would be a good thing. No obvious signs of drug problems, either directly or from the environment they had been living in. He did suggest that I should be aware that Sissy's rather hostile attitude towards me should be watched, that it was one possible symptom of an older meth baby. We departed a little before noon with a followup appointment late in the day, two days hence. As food at home was getting a bit short, we walked back to the apartment complex. I arranged to borrow a company van for the afternoon and we departed to get food, clothing and supplies. A stop at a McD's got high protein, high energy food, if more than a bit short on veggies. A bottle and jar of baby food fed Callie. Walmart was next on the list. I stopped at the customer service counter and got a supervisor. I told her that the kids had showed up on my doorstep in rags, she looked and agreed with the last part at least. I told her that if she could help me a bit, that I would spend upwards of $500 in her store that day. She wanted to know what kind of help, I replied that an assistant to help haul the heap, and more important, be an official keeper of the tags so I could put dress the kids in new clothes in the store, along with being able to use some of the baby supplies as well. I would pay in full on the way out, but wanted to put a part of the buy into service before then. She looked at the kids, clean and hair brushed, but rags was a kind description of their clothes. They looked worse after being washed and dried than they had when they came into my home last night, the bruises were much more obvious. First stop the pharmacy to drop off the prescriptions. Next was clothes for all four. A couple of false starts on sizes, then three sets each for the walking ones, six for Callie. Coats and shoes, a toy each and a great heap of baby supplies. The manager had assigned a late teen girl to be my beast of burden, she was quite a bit of help on that one. Crib and bedding, diaper wipes, diapers, more bottles, a car seat that would double as a carrier, baby shampoo, oil, powder. Half the volume in the carts was for Callie. Hair brushes and combs, an electric toothbrush with an assortment of ends, shampoo and conditioner. Another large set of towels. For the most part, if I wasn't certain I would use it, I passed for now. Another trip would be easy to do, and I expected there would be several. Oh yes, a booster car seat for Lizzy. I got two storage tubs for each of the girls, dresser space would be a problem otherwise. I sent my pack mule off towards the customer service counter with two heaping carts and the girls and I headed for the grocery section. I disallowed much candy, insisting on fruits and veggies instead. I did allow ice cream in quantity. Milk and juice, peanut butter and an assortment of jams and jellies were additions to my usual shopping list. I stocked up on cheese and eggs, quite a lot of chicken and some beef as well. I got supplies to make cakes and cookies, I had some but added a bunch. The pack mule arrived shortly, I sent her after an additional cart and we loaded up with staples. Checkout validated my estimate, the total was well over $600. An additional porter was recruited and we loaded stuff and kids into the van. I tipped the original porter $20 and the carryout another $5, and we headed for home. Frank saw us come in with the van, looked at the heap and volunteered a couple of his low level minions to assist us to my apartment. We got inside, I had the helpers put the crib and accessories in the spare bedroom, the groceries on the kitchen table, thence the floor after it got full and the balance of the stuff in a heap at the end of the living room. They departed with another $5 tip each. *************************************************** Chapter 4 -- At home with the loot, Sunday afternoon. I had Andi put Callie on my bed for the time being, she was asleep. Being fed, warm and clean for a change, she hadn't done much but eat and sleep, outside of Doc's examination and the occasional diaper change. We had insisted that she be awake for a while for clothes sizing at the store, but even there after she was into a clean set of clothes and a warm blanket, she had spent most of the rest of the shopping trip asleep in her new baby seat. Andi and Sissy seemed to be in shock at the size of the pile. Andi looked at the new clothes she was wearing, then at me and started bawling. I watched her for a moment, then sat on the end of the couch that wasn't covered in sacks. I held out my arms to her and she came to me and leaned on my shoulder, still sobbing. "What's the problem, kid?", I asked after a moment, holding her close. "You got us all these clothes and stuff.", she said, muffled against my shoulder. I looked at the heap. "Yes, but I don't see anything obvious to cry about." "But we aren't your kids, we just got dumped on you last night." "Boss says you are.", I told her. "I've found it to be a very bad idea to buck Boss's instructions. I do it very rarely and only for technical reasons involving the computer system. She said that she was giving you to me. And me to you. Part of your now being mine is that I should feed, house and clothe you. Besides the downside issues of getting her annoyed with me, I've also learned that things like this generally work out quite well for me if I go along with her. So far I have no reason to think that having you kids will be any different." "These are the first new clothes I can remember.", Sissy said quietly, if a bit bitterly. "Momma didn't want to spend any of her drug money on us -- she bought stuff from the junk shops or begged them from neighbors. What we were wearing last night was our *good* clothes, we put them on when Raoul had us leave the apartment. He wouldn't let us bring any of the others, said they stank too bad." She sat there quietly, looking at me -- no glare for the moment. "How many times do I have to fuck you or suck you to pay for mine?", she asked after a moment. Her question wasn't angry or resigned. She seemed to be simply asking. It took me a bit to decide how to answer that question, Andi quieted and turned to look at me as well. "Well, to answer your question as *you* meant it.", I said slowly at last, "Once should cover it easily. I expect that a clean, willing seven year old should go for at least $200 for an hour, probably a lot more than that, although it would take me a while to get you properly cleaned up and trained to act like an innocent happy little girl so I could get $1000 out of you for an evening." She looked a bit shocked, I was certain that she was expecting at least 5 or 6 times. "On the other hand.", I continued, my answer is "None. I won't let you pay me in sex. To the extent you owe me anything, it's to be good kids and fun to have around." "Does that mean you own us?", asked Andi after a moment. "Well.", I said, "Yes and no. To the extent that the answer is 'yes', you own me as well. Boss said so." "But if you won't fuck us, how do we pay you for taking care of us?", she said, looking a bit confused. It took me a bit to figure out how to answer her. "You mistake me in two ways. First off, I certainly want to fuck you. I just plan to wait till you want to fuck me, I expect this to happen presently. Then, why do you think you need to pay me? You are my concubines/daughters, Boss said so. I should take care of my concubines/daughters so they will be happy and healthy.", I finally answered. "Why else would you keep us. You just spent a fuck of a lot of money on us, and a whole day. Momma got money and stuff from guys for letting them do stuff to us. That and letting them fuck her. She got more for us though.", Andi responded. I could see Sissy watching very closely. "Give me a few minutes kids.", I said after a few moments. "Those last two questions make so many wrong assumptions that it's gonna take a while to answer them. It's been a few hours, let's check Callie's diaper, and feed you all next. Then I'll take a shot at trying to answer you." Callie was a bit wet, Andi changed her while I moved stuff to give access to the table. I put all the rest of the refrigerator and freezer stuff away as I thought further. The urgent stuff put away, I fixed a quick meal. It turned out that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on good bread counted as exotic cuisine. Add in potato chips, a glass of Cran-grape juice and raw carrots and they viewed it with quite a lot of suspicion. Long habit of eating what ever was available, when it was available took over though, and all the food vanished in a few minutes. I fed Callie and thought while they ate. The clothes for instance. From my point of view, the were Wally World clothes, not bad, but certainly not the good stuff. Adequate was a good description. Cheap, available and quick. I planned on at least one more trip to a more upscale place for some better clothes in a few days. I dished up small dishes of chocolate ice cream and continued to feed Callie. We did a quick cleanup from the late lunch, again a foreign notion from their point of view. They were not unwilling to help, but had no notion at all of how to put dishes in a dishwasher for instance. I took them back into the living room. I sat in my recliner with Callie and her bottle on one arm and held out the other to Lizzy. She clambered into my lap and snuggled against my chest with my arm around her. "OK, Andi.", I addressed her. "You've been here most of a day. At the moment are you thinking that you want to leave when your week is up, or are you thinking of staying with me? Incidentally, most of this stuff is yours, one way or the other." She looked at Sissy for a moment. Sissy shrugged and said, "He ain't hit us yet and it don't stink in here. I think we had more to eat since we got her than we had in the last four days." "Stay I guess.", Andi said after another moment. "I want to stay with Alan.", Lizzy told her. Andi nodded slowly. "OK.", I said to Andi and Sissy. "Let me try to explain it this way. You said I spent a lot of money. For you, maybe, but for me -- Boss pays me quite well to keep her computer and data system working. Between salary and benefits, specifically including you four as bennies, that wasn't a lot of money for me. I wouldn't want to spend that much on you every day, but I won't need to. I will never sell you as whores. I don't need the money, it's a very high risk occupation, and would damage you, reducing your value to me. You are potentially quite valuable to me, as concubines, daughters or some combination." "So we're your own private whores then.", sneered Sissy. "Concubine and whore are two entirely different jobs.", I told her after a moment. "A whore is for a few minutes, or hours, concubine is for years. Concubine is almost the same as wife, whore is a little better than jacking off -- on a good day that is. Besides, if you wish, you may be just a daughter. Daughters don't get to make love to their daddies." Sissy didn't have a comment on that. "Frank said you have to stay with me for a week. His threat to drag you back if you try to leave is sort of a chain on you, binding you do me. You follow this idea?", I asked Andi and Sissy. They nodded. "Part of what I'm doing is hooking a different set of chains to you. Starting with a clean, warm, safe bed. Clean clothes with no holes. Enough good food, several times a day so you aren't hungry. Baths -- in a few days you will find it unpleasant to be dirty for very long. Same thing for tangles in your hair. No beatings. I will probably spank you when you are very bad, but never worse that 5 swats with my hand on your bare bottom. Nothing that leaves a mark or hurts for more than a few minutes. Any questions about this part?" I paused and waited. "Why are you going to that much trouble?", Andi asked after a few moments. "You could just grab us and fuck us. We couldn't stop you. You own us. Boss said so." "First off, I want to make love with my concubines, not fuck my whores. I want my girls to run towards me for a hug and kiss when they see me, not run away from me to hide.", I told her. "I want you to want to sleep with me two at a time because the bed's too crowded for four of us, instead of one of you fucking me because it's your turn to pay the rent, and leaving as soon as I go to sleep. I'm willing to go to quite a lot of trouble to have concubines or daughters instead of whores." "But we are whores.", Sissy wailed, "Momma said so." "You *were* whores. You are no longer whores. I forbid you to be whores for so long as you live with me. You may be daughters or concubines, probably some mixture. Or you may leave when the week's up. It's your choice. One of the problems with the velvet chains that I'm trying to bind you with, is that you have to hook them on yourselves. You don't have to let them hold you. But because *you* have to take them off, it can be remarkably hard to do. Think. You've been her most of a day. How hard would it be to go back to the apartment where Raoul found you, dirty, in ragged clothes, to live with one of the people who live in that place? That's one of your choices -- you want to do that?" I paused. Andi made a face and shook her head. After a moment, Sissy agreed. I continued, "To stay, you don't have to do more than be good daughters most of the time. You may be concubines if you choose to do so -- or not. So, having washed you last night, if I never touch your pussy or boobs again, that's OK." "So we don't have to suck you or fuck you?", asked Andi finally -- Sissy watching me closely. "You do not. Not tonight, not ever. Not until you decide you want to. I will probably make some mild attempts to seduce you.", I told her. "But you can always say 'no', even if you said 'yes' a few minutes ago. Like I said a while ago, I expect that you will decide you want to make love with me in a few days, or months. However, that is an educated guess, not a requirement in any way." Sissy and Andi sat in silence for a few minutes, looking at me and thinking. After the silence had lengthened to nearly five minutes I said, "Let's try it this way for a while. "For the next month, for sex stuff, you three each have to be naked in front of me for five minutes per week. I get to see you from all sides, standing up and your hands out of the way. You have been naked for me enough that you are paid up till this time next week. You have to let me see you at least every seven days, and more naked viewing just resets the clock. If you show off for me tomorrow, then you won't have to do it again for seven days from then. This is each, 30 minute naked by Lizzy does not mean that Sissy gets to keep her clothes on. For the rest of the payment, you each owe me 15 minutes per day of rubbing my back or brushing my hair. Again, each one of the three of you owes me. Andi doing 30 minutes doesn't let Lizzy off the hook. Callie is exempt from this one. Do you understand and agree to this part?" Andi shrugged, Sissy said, "Doesn't sound like much." "Beyond that, you have to be good kids.", I continued. "You must bathe most days, never less than every other day. You have to brush your hair and teeth at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. You have to put on clean clothes at least once per day, they don't have to stay clean, but they do have to start out clean." Another pause, "OK.", said Andi. "You have to have your room clean at least once per day, same thing with the living room, kitchen and bathrooms.", I stated. They nodded. "You have to go to school and work at it. I won't put up with having ignorant kids. This doesn't mean that you have to be the best compared to other kids, just most of the best that you can be. In practice, the competition isn't very tough, a good effort every day will have you in very good shape." "But we ain't no good in school, and the other kids call us dummies and beat up on us.", protested Sissy. "We can fix that.", I told her. "Your only problem will be to learn how to learn. The rest of it is my problem. I can already see from having you around for a day that you, Andi and Lizzy are plenty smart enough, you just need to learn how to go to school. I'm pretty sure you don't know that yet. For now, all you have to do is promise to try, really try to learn. I can help fix the rest." Sissy looked skeptical. After a moment I asked her, "Will you work half as hard at learning to read as you are at being mad at, and suspicious of me?" After another moment she gave me a grudging nod, followed by a bit of an involuntary grin. "You really think I can do it?", Andi asked timidly. "I'm positive you can -- much less positive you will. On the other hand, I can already see that you are a very tough, fairly bright kid. If you weren't, you wouldn't have survived to get here. If you decide to do it, you will do well in school. Believe me, all *you* need is to believe you can and be willing to work. It will take years to finish, but in weeks you will see a big difference if you *will* do those two things." Pensive silence from Andi. After a few moments I held out my arm to her, she looked at me for a moment then came and sat by me, taking Callie into her lap since my arm was now around her. I gave her a brief gentle hug then continued. "Don't lie to me. You may tell me you won't answer. I may, if I think it's real important, insist on some answer. Mostly I will wait." I paused, after a moment Sissy and Andi nodded. "Don't steal from me, or anyone else around here." More nods, quicker this time. "Don't break my stuff on purpose." Nods. "Don't try to hurt me, your sisters nor any of the neighbors unless they hurt you first. Better that you come to me if you have a problem and we'll figure out something appropriate. I won't let them get away with stuff any more than I'll let you get away with being bad." Sissy looked uncertain about that paragraph. Andi didn't nod immediately." "We'll work on that one", I told them. "Mostly it means, 'Don't start fights, don't fight unless you really have to, stop fighting as soon as you possibly can, and talk to me if you think you have a problem. That's most of it.", I finished up. "You think you can live with those rules?" "I thought that Frank brought us to you so you would have little girls to fuck.", Sissy, well not quite protested, but certainly objected. "No -- and Yes.", I answered her. "No, You don't have to fuck me. Not now, not ever. Yes, I want to fuck, rather to make love with you. You probably will wind up in my bed at some point. I would guess that you will be the last one of the four of you to sleep with me, but that is an educated guess, not instructions." "What makes you think I want to fuck you?", Sissy demanded. "You don't, not now. I expect you will want to after a while -- a few days, a few weeks, a few months.", I answered her. She looked skeptical. "Why would you want me if you don't get to fuck me?" "That's another one of those questions that makes so many wrong assumptions, that it's real hard to answer.", I paused and thought for a full minute. "Why do you believe that your only value to me is as a fuck toy?", I finally asked Sissy. She sat silently for a bit and didn't answer, but I thought maybe she started to understand. "You are my kid, Boss said so.", I told her again. "Mine -- I take care of what is mine. It would embarrass me to have my kids in rags and looking starved. To cringe from me in fear. To be unable to read and write. To be dirty with unbrushed hair. These reasons are only a small part of why I bought these clothes and groceries, but they are real. OK? You understand that much?" I looked at Sissy, then at Andi. After a long moment they nodded. "After this month, you won't be required to let me look at you either." Sissy nodded, still looking skeptical. "The only part of this that I will insist on is that you try, for real, to be a good daughter, and grow up to be a competent, civilized person, someone who can take care of herself, and improves the world instead of taking from it -- hurting other people." "I don't understand.", she said finally. "Try it this way then.", I said to her. "What I want is for you kids to be my kids. And you to think of me as your daddy. Kids that know I care about them and will take care of them no matter what they have just done. I want to have girls that feel safe and loved and are happy most of the time. And who do things with me and for me because they like me and like to have me happy. Not because they think they have to, for me to keep feeding you and clothing you or to keep from making me mad. You clearly don't understand and believe this yet, but hopefully you will someday." "Do we have to call you daddy then?", asked Sissy after a few moments. "Doesn't matter. 'Daddy', 'Alan', 'Poppy' -- or any of the multitudes of variations on that theme. I will object to something like 'asshole' or 'shithead', but almost anything that shows a modicum of respect and/or affection will be fine. Even 'Mr. Collins' or 'Sir' will be OK, although not my first choices." She nodded. We sat there for a while, Andi and Lizzy against my sides, Callie asleep again, half on me and half on Andi. After a bit, I unwrapped my arms from the two girls, sat up in the chair and looked at Sissy. "Get the hair brush and come here please.", I said to her. She fetched it and came to stand in front of me. I took it and turned her around, pulled her to sit between my legs and started brushing her hair. It was still a bit greasy, but not too bad. Tangles were minimal, in a few moments the brush moved through it smoothly. I continued to brush it for a couple of minutes then laid the brush down and started rubbing her back. She flinched at first, then sat quietly while I first gently massaged her shoulders and back, then used the tips of my fingers to draw patterns up and down the length of her back. I continued with that for another full minute then told her, "Something like this for back rubs. You can move if you want me to quit, I need to do your sisters when I finish with you. Then you can work on me while I do Lizzy next." Sissy started to pull away, then sat back down and leaned forward a bit so I could reach her lower back better. I grinned to myself and kept gently caressing her. Another minute and I reached up under her shirt to directly caress the skin on her back. She flinched when I started to raise her shirt, then leaned down even further as I lightly drew invisible patterns on the skin of her back, from the waistband of her trousers to the back of her neck. In another few minutes, she was nearly going to sleep. I pulled down her shirttail, and hugged her to my chest. She stiffened for a moment then relaxed. I held her for ten seconds longer, then gently pushed her off the edge of my chair. "Lizzy's turn next.", I told Sissy. I sat partially sideways on the couch and pulled Lizzy around in front of me. "Rub my back while I brush Lizzy's hair I told Sissy." She was a bit grudging about it, just swiping her hands around, moving too fast, and too roughly. After a little bit, Andi asked, "Do you have another hair brush?" "No, but you do. In that pile somewhere.", I indicated the sacks in the living room. Andi dug through the sacks for a bit and found the hair care stuff. She had a bit of trouble getting it out of the packaging, but persevered and soon was brushing my hair. Lizzy's hair wasn't bad, in a few minutes I had her hair straight and smooth. I finished and spent a few minutes rubbing her back, alternating with kneading her muscles gently, and lightly drawing designs on her skin with my fingertips under her shirt. Finishing with Lizzy, I then had Andi hand the hairbrush to Sissy. I worked on Andi's hair for a while, her scalp was still quite tender so I had to be cautious. I again switched to caressing her. When I reached up under Andi's shirt, she reached back and pulled it off over her head, then held her hair up out of the way so I could reach her back better. I looked at the welts on her back, then got the ointment and applied gently applied a new layer. Finishing up, I helped her put the shirt back on, then pulled Andi into a hug against my chest. She leaned into it for a long moment, then Callie fussed. Andi checked and removed a wet diaper. The rash was much improved and the sores were starting to heal. I had Andi leave the diaper off and took Callie to my bathroom. After I had the water running at the proper temperature, Lizzy willingly stripped and got into the tub with her little sister. On my invitation, after a moment Andi did too. I looked at Sissy, raising a brow. She shook her head. "Your choice.", I told her. I went back into the living room, found and handed her a bottle of kid shampoo. "Wash your hair. Be sure to rinse it well. I'll check it later, if it isn't good enough, I'll make you go back and try again." Sissy nodded and headed for the shower in their room. I went back to find three kids splashing in the tub and the water starting to go down the overflow. I turned off the water, then watched them play for a few minutes, scolding gently when it seemed as if too much water was going over the edge. In a bit, I had Andi hold Callie and washed her hair with the baby shampoo. Callie didn't like it, but we persevered and soon had clean hair on the baby. Bar soap and a few more moments of wiggly baby had the rest of her body acceptably clean. It would take a few days more for her to heal, but the rash was noticeably less than it had been the night before. I moved to Lizzy, she held still and cooperated while I washed her hair again -- it didn't take long since I had gotten her hair clean last night. She stood while I washed the rest of her body, clearly enjoying the attention. When I turned my attention to Andi, she hesitated for a moment then moved to where I could reach her head. I checked her scalp, there was still quite visible bruising and she complained when I touched it. Again I washed her hair very gently, leaving the shampoo in it while I washed the rest of her body, then gently massaging it for another few moments before rinsing. Finishing that, I warmed the water and let them play for a while. I checked and Sissy was out of the shower, wrapped in a towel. Her hair was marginally acceptable, again I decided to reward her for making an effort and gave her a pass while commenting that I would require a bit better job next time. She followed me back into my bedroom, thence bathroom, to squeals and splashing. Once more I scolded a bit about the water on the floor and opened the drain. When the water had dropped to four inches, I turned on the water again, and used the shower hose to rinse Callie, being quite generous on her pussy and ass. I fished her out and dried her a bit, then handed her to Sissy wrapped in a towel. I turned to Lizzy next, rinsing her using my fingers a bit more than was absolutely necessary. She seemed to enjoy the attention and caresses. I let her hair drip for a few moments then lifted her out and did a quick job of drying her. Another big fuzzy towel and I turned back to Andi. I had handed her the shower hose while I was getting Lizzy out thinking that she might want to rinse herself instead of having me do it. Wrong, or perhaps rightly, she was waiting for me to rinse her too. I rinsed her hair while she sat, then had her stand and turn while I hosed the rest of her body off. I used the shower to get between the cheeks of her ass, then her pussy, doing a minimal amount of touching, trying to watch and tell if she would prefer more or less contact. I shut down the water and got her out of the tub, spent a few moments getting the bulk of the water out of her hair and a light drying of the rest of her body. I took all the towels from the girls, giving Sissy a dry one for her and another for Callie, then dispatched Andi and Lizzy to use the damp towels to mop up the bathroom floor and wipe out the tub, then put the wet towels and bathmat in the washer. "Does this count as being naked in front of you?", asked Sissy. I looked her over carefully, "Yes it does.", I agreed. She looked thoughtful. Sissy claimed that her bathroom had remained fairly dry so I took her at her word for the moment, figuring to check later. A few minutes later, I had Callie greased up, diapered, in an outfit for the evening and bottled. Andi and Lizzy came out, accepted dry towels and used them to dry on their hair one more round. I checked, Sissy's hair was still too wet to brush, I set her to drying it better and spent a few minutes brushing Callie's hair. I worked on Lizzy's hair for a while, making a note that a hair dryer should go on the list for the next trip. In a few moments I had it combed tangle free and moved to Sissy. A little longer and I moved to Andi. I replenished the ointment on her welts first. Being careful of her sore scalp took quite a bit longer to get her hair good enough -- she squeaked some but endured it without fighting me. Finished, I got three clean t-shirts and gave them to the girls. Sissy made a point of standing in front of me while she dropped her towel and put on the shirt. I didn't grin at her maneuver, much that is, just acknowledged that I had viewed her body and that she had a week before then next required viewing. We spent the next hour unpackaging stuff, then putting it away. Then tackled the kitchen and assembling Callie's new bed. Finished with that, I fed them an early supper. Afterwards we sat on the couch for a while and I read some of Winnie-the-Pooh to them. That too seemed to be a totally new experience to them. Last night had been a very late one and today had been a long stressful one for them, so I fixed a small dish of ice cream with fruit cocktail, and a piece of cheese each made a good snack, then put them to bed at around eight. Sissy fussed a bit at the notion, but interrupted herself with a yawn. A gentle swat on the bottom and she crawled into the middle of the bed. She didn't protest when I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead, but didn't respond either. Andi grinned a little when I tucked the covers up under her chin and gave her a matching kiss, Lizzy raised her head up a little to meet me when I kissed her, and gave me a real smile. I changed Callie three times during the night, only giving her two applications of cum to her pussy in the process. The second time I changed her, she fussed when I put her down with a bottle, so she wound up in my bed again for the rest of the night. ************************************************** Chapter 5 -- Monday morning I woke up the next morning as Lizzy crawled onto the bed. I raised up the covers on the side away from Callie, she crawled in and snuggled against my side, my arm around her. She seemed to enjoy it as I caressed her lower back and buttocks, giving her occasional kisses on the forehead, that being what I could reach easily. At around 7:30 I rolled out of bed, put Callie in her crib with a dry diaper and bottle, and headed for the morning bathroom routine. Lizzy followed me into the bathroom, using the toilet first, then sitting in my lap while I did my morning read. When I went to take my morning shower, she followed. I didn't spend much time playing, just gave her a quick wash, then knelt and had her wash my back and hair for a few moments. She watched closely while I shaved and brushed my teeth. I had her get her toothbrush and do hers. After 8:00 I called Kathy Vargas, my second in the IS department and told her that I would be tied up for the day. Details took a little while, she was quite amused at the additions to my family and gave me firm instructions to bring them by soon. She had been trying to get me a girlfriend for a couple of years, but nothing seemed to click with the women she had introduced. I told her that I would have my cell and laptop if something came up that seemed urgent, other than that I would check in tomorrow. Fortunately, she was a quite competent minion, and I knew that things would be dire indeed before she couldn't handle them. I sat there for a few moments, reflecting on, and counting the velvet chains Boss had on me at the moment -- An interesting, challenging job that continued to evolve as data systems and computer security evolved. And the needs of her organizations changed. Good pay with benefits, a very nice apartment in a secure building was just one. If the girls stayed for more than a few weeks, I expected that a move to a larger unit would be an additional benefit. The girls, along with built in schooling and day care for them were another. Among other angles on the gift of concubines was an additional, very substantial, velvet chain attached to my collar. The cost of leaving her organization had just gone up by an order of magnitude. Before kids, aside from the short term risks of running, I would have risked losing my current bank account, some savings, and a bunch of stuff. If the kids elected to stay, and I expected they would from what I could see, I would need to rethink my contingency plans -- and probably do a more active job of monitoring the health of Boss's organization. I noted, once more with a bit of admiration, that as usual Boss was getting good mileage out of her bird killing stones -- I had no doubt at all that her thinking had included that additional chain on me. I decided to put off any serious restructuring of my schedule till next week after things had settled some and the girls had made a commitment to stay or not. Some investigation of child care and school seemed in order though to make plans. Lizzy crawled into my lap for a cuddle as I thought about what to do next. I called around and soon found the person that could help me with getting the girls into the company school. I was a part time member of the faculty, although for more advanced math, science and computer skills, but up till this point had never paid much attention to how the little kids were placed in the classes. I told her what I knew about them. She set up an appointment for that afternoon to do some testing and evaluation. Andi, Callie and Sissy came wandering out around 9:00, I fixed breakfast and got them all dressed. Andi's back was improving, all the scabs were sealed, and the ointment was keeping them from cracking. Most of the angry redness was fading and her scalp was significantly less tender this morning. Callie's rash was much improved, as was her energy. She spent a while after breakfast on the floor crawling around -- which quickly showed up the need to make my home more baby resistant. After a bit, she started fussing some, a clean diaper and she snuggled down on my lap with a bottle thence a nap. I found and talked with the day care manager, we went for an interview there and I got things set up to have a place to take the girls when some emergency came up at work -- in the IS world, that was definitely a matter of when, not if. For the short term, Andi would continue to be primary caregiver for Callie, day care would be for extended unavailability on my part, or when Andi was in school. Longer term I figured that Andi should become secondary caregiver, and have a fair amount of time available when she wasn't required to be the mommy in our family. That one would have to be worked on over time, I wanted to be careful to keep Andi from thinking that I was taking Callie away from her, rather than lightening a burden. I spent a while thinking about how I might arrange office space in an apartment setting, then about what our long term needs for space and furniture might be. Lunch, then off to meet with the school counselor. The nice lady did some evaluation tests on the girls. Andi did awful for grade level. She barely had first grade skills in most areas. Sissy hadn't had as much time to get behind, but was only better than Andi in relative terms, her skills were worse than Andi's. None of this was at all surprising to either me or Ms. Evanston. Some pre-literate IQ tests showed promise for all three of them -- Ms. Evanston cautioned me that they were hardly precise -- they showed general patterns, but if I took them to mean anything more than that the kids seemed average or above, it was rampant speculation. What they did show was that the girls could benefit from our usual methods of schooling at a normal rate of progress. Starting levels and methods needed to be discussed. Fortunately for the girls, getting kids in that were not in the regular pattern for schooling wasn't a unusual occurrence. In Boss's organization, there was no real pretense that the state school rules had to be followed. Kids were allowed to fail if they wouldn't do the work or maintain a modicum of civility. In the case of my three, they would all start school, being placed in an appropriate level for each subject. Ms. Evanston and I agreed that the girls would start regular classes the first of the next week. They had shown up on my doorstep Saturday night, it was now Monday. That would give us the week to learn how to live together, and for me to feed them up a bit. We spent a bit longer on suggestions for educational toys and games that I might get for them to work on at home. That being done, I took them home, fed them and put them down for naps. They tired easily and pretty well required naps to keep going. My expectation was that with better nutrition and some exercise, their energy and endurance would improve, but for now they flagged quite easily. While they slept, I logged in for work and spent a couple of hours on necessary tasks. Around five I woke them up, Callie got diapered, bottled and went off to play on the floor for a while. Andi and Sissy did a pretty good job of protecting my stuff from their sister, and vice versa. I made a note that playpen and child locks for the cupboards should be on the shopping list for tomorrow. And a high chair. ************************************************** Chapter 6 -- Monday evening Supper came and went, then I decreed bath time. This time Sissy elected to bathe with her sisters. They played in the water for a while, then when I told them to finish up, she washed the rest of her body while I washed Callie, then let me wash her hair. She sat quietly while I massaged her scalp, and her hair squeaked the first try. I praised her for her co-operation, this seemed to bother her for some reason. Andi's scalp was getting good enough that I got a good clean on her as well, her back was much better, nearly all the soreness gone and the scabs starting to peel in some places. This was Lizzy's second bath for the day, so I didn't spend much time on her. Even Callie was starting to learn how to have her hair washed, and the crying was greatly diminished. Diaper rash was also greatly diminished, which may well have been a related phenomena. Sissy allowed me to dry her hair along with her sisters when they got out of the shower, then participated in the bathroom cleanup while I diapered and dressed Callie for the night. She even allowed me to put a t-shirt on her, and leaned into a hug for a few seconds after. I greased Andi's scabs up before putting her shirt on, by now Bag Balm was sufficient, if more than a bit aromatic. I read to them for a half hour, Callie in Andi's lap with a bottle, and Lizzy and Sissy sitting on either side of me. Lizzy was making a sweaty patch on one rib, while Sissy was sitting close, but not against me. On the other hand, she was making contact every little bit and not flinching away. I would definitely take that. By eight thirty, eyes were drooping. Lizzy was asleep against my side, and Sissy had leaned against the other, starting her own warm strip on my ribs. I picked Lizzy up and carried her to bed, Sissy walking beside me and Andi carrying Callie. I tucked Lizzy and Sissy into bed, then checked Callie while Andi fixed her another bottle. When we were finished, Andi followed me back to my chair. I looked at her for a moment, then held out an arm and she got into my lap. I picked up my book to read and lightly caressed Andi with the other hand. In a few minutes I noted that her eyes were closed and I had a limp, very warm kid sound asleep on my lap. When I tried to put her in their bed at 10:30, Andi protested. After a moment I shrugged and took her with me to my bed. She crawled under the covers, then when I laid down snuggled into the curve of an arm and went back to sleep in a few moments. ***************************************************** Chapter 7 -- Tuesday morning. When I woke the next morning, Andi was investigating my morning hard on. She had her hand inside my shorts and was gently stroking me while she gazed on my face from about four inches away. I looked at her for a long moment, enjoying the caress and the feel of her body against mine. I noted that she was naked, having shed her sleep shirt during the night some time. "Good morning love. You make a wonderful alarm clock.", I greeted her. "Good morning daddy.", she said shyly, then gave me a quick kiss. I gently caressed her, being as careful as I could of her scabs and kissed her on the forehead. She raised up her head and kissed me back on the lips. "Do you want to fuck me this morning?", she asked, somewhat timidly. That brought me from fairly hard to very hard in a couple of seconds. Andi's had hesitated in her stroking, then started moving a bit faster. I looked at her for a moment, then answered, "As you noticed, yes I do. But like I told you Saturday night, I'm not going to till Doc says you are clean. So, perhaps tonight -- if he gives you a pass and you still want to." "You want me to suck you then?", she asked. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I got a bit harder yet. "Same answer, yes I do, very much, but we're going to wait till at least tonight anyway. On the other hand, if you want to make me cum, just do that a bit harder and longer with your hands and I'll squirt all over the place. She flipped back the covers and pushed the front of my shorts down, then grabbed me with both hands and started pumping vigorously. The fact that she had experience was quite obvious, that was a good of a hand job as I had ever gotten from a girlfriend. About ten seconds, quite a while given the way I had hardened when she suggested sex, and I shot all over my stomach. She kept pumping me hard till the pulses died down, then switched to gently stroking me with one hand as I softened. Definitely an experienced masturbater. As my breathing slowed I hugged her too me and kissed her again, "Thank you Andi. That was very good." She snuggled closer and relaxed against my ribs. I laid there for another few moments, then got up to go get cleaned up. Andi followed me into the bathroom, watched while I pissed, then flipped down the seat and sat down. When I nudged between her knees, she spread them wide and let me watch while she pissed, giggling a little at the stream arching out. About then Lizzy came in, noted Andi's dress and stripped of her shirt, then used the toilet as well. Done, she stood, looked at the cum on my stomach and chest, giggled and rubbed in it with the tip of a finger. In a moment she lifted her arms to be picked up, then wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I kissed her back, hugged her for a long moment then put her down and started the water for the morning shower. We spent a little extra long in the shower on fondles and caresses, again I got my back had hair washed with little girl fingers. I got them towels, dried their hair briefly then shaved with a quite interested audience. I dried off, brushed my teeth, then supervised while they brushed theirs. Sissy came in, looked at us for a long moment, then brushed her teeth as well. I quickly dressed for the morning then was led to the girls room to dress them. Sissy hesitated, then allowed me to take off her sleep shirt and dress her along with her sisters. I had changed Callie an hour before Andi woke me, so she was still asleep when we went to dress girls. The talk and banging around woke her, I checked and she was still dry, so took her with us to breakfast. Andi fed her while I fixed breakfast for the rest of us, by now I was fixing a pretty good meal for them three times a day plus snacks between and at bedtime. Even in only two days, being fed better was showing in their energy level. It was even more dramatic in Callie. When we finished breakfast, she wanted down and went off at a fast crawl to explore. I detailed Sissy to follow her and prevent damage to either stuff or Callie while Andi and Lizzy helped me clean up from breakfast. That done, we all went into the living room and I brushed hair for the morning. The back rubs from the girls were better this morning, even Sissy seemed to be trying to make me feel good instead of just doing something she was forced to do. I checked in with Kathy, things were going well at work. I logged in remotely and did a quick scan of the summarized logs and reviewed work in progress. Another quick conference with Kathy and I counted work as good enough for the day if I kept my cell and laptop with me. I loaded them into my car and we went off to Walmart for another load Play pen, walker, cupboard locks, safety gates and highchair were found along with a small load of additional groceries. With the aid of a few bungies I managed to get them into my trunk and home. We set the playpen up first, deposited Calli within then worked on the others. Beyond books and CD/DVDs I didn't have a lot of stuff below 30 inches which was as high as Callie could reach for now. I moved the books that were more valuable above the baby line and moved all the disks above her reach, exchanging them with books of lesser value. In a little while I had the cupboard locks on, and had given the girls a quick lecture on which of the cleaner bottles were poison, while telling them that the ones that weren't poison would be bad for them and all of them would taste terrible even the ones that wouldn't kill them outright. I pondered a bit, then moved the few really valuable things on display to out of the way storage in my bedroom. I hoped that I wouldn't have problems with vandalism, but expected that curious kids would get into stuff, and removing temptation was easier than punishment. I fed the girls a mid morning stack, then we spent an hour on housework. After lunch I considered ways of getting them started in school. Unpopular as the notion might be in the current education paradigms, the three basics, readin, 'ritin and 'ritmatic are still the basis of all the other skills. Not that they are sufficient by themselves, but they are necessary to learn any of the other subjects. All three of the girls were effectively illiterate, I had noticed Jerry Pournelle's comments on his 'Chaos Manor' page about his wife's reading tutorial and decided to investigate it. It seemed to have promise, so I paid for and downloaded it. I fired up a virtual copy of XP on my computer and installed the program. A few minutes later I called Andi and Sissy over and had them start using it. We worked at it for an hour, it seemed to be living up to the hype, the girls seemed to enjoy it and made noticeable progress. When they seemed to be flagging a bit, I switched to having them work on writing skills for a while, in their case working at printing the letters and numbers. While they worked at that, I spent another half hour with Lizzy on the reading program. She too made progress, enough that the notion of continuing seemed worthwhile. An afternoon snack, then a short nap. While they napped, I made an appointment for a dental exam next week, and found a hairdresser that would take them late that afternoon. I got them up, brushed hair and we headed off to Doc's clinic for their appointment. Lab reports were negative, none of the possible S.T.D.s showing. Lizzy's yeast infection seemed to be getting better at an acceptable rate, and the inflammation that I had seen in her ears was gone. Doc commented on the improvement in attitude and energy and gave Sissy an appointment with an orthopedist to have her arm looked at. The hairdressers were quite vocally appalled at the condition of the girls hair -- and only slightly mollified when I pointed out that they had come that way, that I had only been the responsible person for less than three days. We departed a while later with shorter hair that looked much nicer. ************************************************************* Chapter 6 Wednesday I called Ms Evanston and talked with her about good methods of teaching beginning math to the kids. She was interested in the reading program. Friday morning, the school head called me. "Could you be persuaded to take another class -- specifically beginning reading. I have, including your three, a class of about eight, of very widely varying ages and backgrounds. Class would meet for two hours, three evenings a week, computers and programs would be made available. I met with the class on wednesday. I had my three, two boys around ten, two late teen girls and one older guy, over 50 and about as black as I had ever seen. I introduced myself, went around the room with the usual 'introduce yourself' routine. That finished, I gave a brief synopsis of what I knew about each student, and gave them the rules for my class. First off, they had to want to be in class. For my three, I was prepared to encourage that 'want', but if they refused to work, they were out. The two boys were also under some compulsion, the school staff had sent them to me. I figured to do what I could with them and we'd see. The two girls were young unmarried mothers, and seemed pretty well motivated. They had tried welfare and didn't like it. Edgar had made a serious effort to get into my class and I had no qualms of him putting out an effort if I could demonstrate progress soon. I explained that we would be working with Roberta Pournelle's reading tutorial on the computer first. The first requirement for the class was to work all the way through that. I expected two to six weeks for the students to make it through the series, depending on background and degree of diligence. The classroom computers would be available for the four days a week that class wasn't in session along with an hour after class. Next thing I needed from each of them was a goal. For the three older students, I assumed that they had decided that being able to read was worth the trouble, and I assumed that they had something in mind that they wanted to be able to read. With a few extreme exceptions, I didn't care what they read in class, the two examples I gave of unsuitable materials were 'Finnegan's Wake' and no hard core porn. After I read a short sample of FW to them, they laughed and agreed. No discussion on the porn. Teen or baby magazines would be fine -- or car or gun magazines if that's what you want, I told the two mothers. They were to bring something to class next week that they would like to read. Edgar admitted that his goal was to read a training manual so he could move to a better job where he worked. I told him "Excellent, bring it for the next class." For the five kids, I had a stack of books on a table. They were to select a book from that stack, or if they had something they wanted to read of equivalent or greater content, I would probably approve their choice. The table had the three 'Winnie-the-Pooh' books, a few of the Hardy Boy's books, several bundles of comic books and a few Mad Magazines along with a sampling of books from the library. I told the boys that if they wanted to select current magazines that I would consider them, although I recommended that they start with. The three older students weren't much of a problem, they had made the commitment to learn and so long as I kept it not too painful, they were willing to work. Edgar took off and ran with it, he was far from dumb, but had spend most of his life being knocked down because he was black and illiterate. His youngest daughter had finally convinced him to try, she showed up to check up on him several times over the weeks. One of the two mothers dropped out -- apparently she couldn't stand it to give up drugs and booze, the third time she showed up in class stoned, I told her to leave and not bother to come back till she had gone through detox and been clean for three months. The other girl worked at it and learned. She and Sissy became a rather odd pair of friends, they worked together on the computer, then on reading, sharing material and helping each other with words. Her daughter and Callie were about the same age, after a while I obtained a large play pen and the two toddlers would play and sleep while we worked, with Edgar joining Andi, Jennifer and me in baby care. As I hoped, I managed to guide the two boys into learning to read from magazines, then books that they were interested in. They had much of the raw basics of reading, they went through the reading program in three weeks, three quarters of it during the last of those weeks as they finally got interested in it. They treated it as a computer game at the end and whipped through it. By the end of six weeks, I had all my remaining students reading pretty well. The main limitation I was running into was inherent vocabulary and understanding rather than reading ability. Edgar was clearly in the lead -- even a man that had been nearly illiterate had world experiences that gave understanding to what the words meant that the younger students couldn't touch. Edgar was pretty well over his hump. He learned, in his gut, that he was a pretty bright guy, who had not been forced to learn these skills when he was young, and then had been classed as stupid because he couldn't read since. Once he got past the belief that he was stupid, he did well. He benefited by attending class and working his way through his work certification study materials. On my advice, he spent half his class time reading other material to broaden his reading skills. In addition, he was working his way into being a useful teaching assistant. Between being a grandfather and a recent beginning reading student, he had larger reservoirs of patience than I did. I tended to snap at someone who asked the same question, or made the same mistake the fifth time. Edgar was just as gentle the seventh time as the first. My three took off on reading. I rewarded them for a time at home for reading, by the time I had been a daddy for four months I noted that keeping them supplied with new material had become my major problem with getting them to read. The two boys graduated to a regular classroom group, still attending my class one session per week. Jennifer was simply slower. She was fairly well behaved, but her progress was slower than the others. Still she learned to read well enough to get through a Harlequin Romance every couple of weeks and could read articles in the Baby magazines well enough to get useful information. As thing settled down some, I would get a new student or two every couple of weeks and some would graduate or drop out at the same rate. After a couple of months I got assigned an apprentice and a couple of months after that got called in by Boss for a conference. ******************************************* Chapter y B.G. (before girls), my emergency plans had involved splitting my assets into a number of accounts with provisions for accessing them from places and identities that were not what I was using while I worked as head of IT for this one of Boss's divisions. That and keeping three separate caches of cash and other supplies where they could be grabbed quickly as I departed by one of my emergency routes. A.G, or perhaps W.G. (with girls), I could no longer figure to stand up from my desk and, if I got out clean in terms of 5 minutes, figure on being out of town in 20 minutes from a standing start, and several states away in a day or two. At a bare minimum, at the wrong time of day, it might take me over an hour to collect the girls, plus two or three good sized bags instead of one bag that I could carry in one hand and easily carry onto a bus or airline. I had traded my car in on a minivan. A bit of a whimper there, it had been a good car for quite a while and I had it fixed up just to suit me. Girls were a good enough thing that I didn't regret having them, even with the change in vehicles, but car, if I felt pressed enough to take the risks, could maintain 90mph for a full tank of gas. Van was at least 10 mph below that, and at those speeds, no better than 2/3 the range as well. And that was if I could get the girls to the car and get out of the area clean. If not, trying to herd four kids in a 'flee for ones life' scenario looked orders of magnitude harder. When I got into Boss's office, her first words were "How are your contingency plans for when I lose it shaping up Alan?" As usual, she was behind a screen in a dark area with me in a more brightly lit part of the room. I had been searched before I was allowed into her presence. This was expected, and I had taken care to arrive with nothing that would be considered a problem by security. I could see her shape in the dimly lit portion of the room, but would have been unable to pick her out of a lineup or be certain of a photograph. I had been in her immediate presence one time, when she had been a much younger Boss, not as well entrenched in her power, and I was eight years old. By the next meeting, nearly four years later, I had been unable to see her clearly. Since I fully understood that these precautions were to protect me even more than they were to protect her, I went along willingly and made no attempt to subvert her precautions. ************************************************** Once more, this story is far from done. I'm gonna post what is here and continue to work on it, reposting as I make additions of substance. Enjoy what I have, let me know if you have constructive criticism. ******************** No need to read the below unless you want to, I will probably remove them for the final version. Notes: Alan Collins, Head of IT for one of Boss's divisions. 30ish, child of the slums that managed. with help, to climb out. Recently promoted to head slave to the four Chapman girls. Mom, a Chapman, druggie, pimp and dead. ------------- The girls, children of many fathers -- Andria (Andi), dirty blond with gray eyes and an narrow face. Rebecca (Sissy), a fairly light blond, blue eyes. Elizabeth (Lizzy), , a dark brunette with brown eyes and a rounder face. One would suspect a Mexican father. Callie -- baby, hair quite dark and fairly long for a little. Collectively Alan's daughters/concubines/masters. --------- Frankie, Upper middle management in Boss's organization. Head of local security and enforcement. Doc 50ish. Dried out drunk/druggie who got careless about his like for little girls as well. Very good doctor, but not employable outside of Boss's world. Which is a good thing for that world. Has a S.O. and keeper, 10yo girl who has owned Doc for over three years now. Kathy -- Alan's second. Very competent IS boss, perhaps a bit better suited to Boss's world than Alan. Ms. Evanston -- 50ish, brown. Not really a part of the slum world. Head of Boss's private school system. Has a fairly free hand in deciding which kids to allow into her school. Mostly will take any kid bright enough to do good work (by public school standards), and disciplined enough to attend school, do the work and not actively cause trouble. Well over half of her students are nonstandard students. Pregnant girls are welcomed, for instance, as are older students. Only burden on the older students is a higher standard for due diligence for attendance and work, and less tolerance for destructive behavior. Child care is furnished for children of students at any grade level. Boss will sponsor high ability students to go beyond high school levels, and assists lesser but competent students to attend normal community college and higher. <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
