Beth had taken to wearing overalls, deciding that she liked to have 
all of the pockets they normally had. Little John, rejecting the blue 
jeans all of the other men in the family wore when relaxing, 
enjoyed shorts and button shirts. Neither of them liked to wear 
shoes and would go without whenever they had the opportunity. 
Ed watched them heading over to his table in the first year dorm. It 
was strange, but they always came to the first year dining room 
despite repeated attempts to get them to go to the second year dorm 
with Ling.

Beth climbed up on the chair beside Ed while Little John sat down 
on a chair on the other side. Seeing that he was surrounded, Ed 
asked, "So what do you want?"

Little John frowned and asked, "Why do you think we want 
something?"

"If you just wanted to chat, you'd sit across the table from me. 
When one of you wants something, you sit together to the side. 
When both of you want something, you sit on each side of me," 
replied Ed as he watched the expressions on their faces change.

Beth said, "We want to know why we wear clothes all of the time."

"Did you ask your mothers?"

Little John shrugged noncommittally. Beth looked away at the first 
year students walking around the dining room. Smiling, Ed said, "I 
take by your lack of answer that you did."

"Okay, we did. Beth asked Kelly and I asked Ling."

"What did they say?"

"That it was for our own protection."

"Protection from what?"

"Adults that would want to take 'vantage of us."

Nodding his head, Ed listened carefully to them trying to 
determine if that was the sole reason for it. He asked, "You don't 
think that is a fair concern."

"Right."

There had to be a way to handle this question in a manner that 
would convince the children that walking naked around others 
might not be a safe activity. Sure it was safe to do it here, but this 
was a special environment. That phrase repeated itself in his mind 
and he saw his solution. He said, "Why don't each of you go and 
find four first year students each to bring here for a discussion?"

The two kids looked at each other in surprise by the suggestion. 
After staring at Ed for a minute in puzzlement, they split up and 
went to find first year students. It took them several minutes. In the 
mean time, Ed had moved to a larger table that would easily hold a 
dozen people. The two kids returned with four students each. 
Pointing to the chairs around the table, Ed said, "Please have a 
seat."

The students sat down at the table. Most of them were nervous 
being around Ed, knowing his reputation as a human lie detector. 
Pointing to the kids, Ed said, "Please ask about the fairness of your 
mother's concerns."

Little John and Beth looked at each other for a moment. Finally, it 
was the little girl that said, "Our mother's believe that it is unwise 
for us to go naked."

Noticing the look that Ed was giving them, Little John said, "They 
think that some adults will try to take advantage of us."

The students looked to Ed for guidance, but he just answered, "Tell 
them your honest feelings about this issue."

There was a long period of silence. Finally, one of the male 
students spoke, "We are to live by two rules. If it harms none, then 
do it. Protect the weak from the strong. For you to walk around 
naked is consistent with the first rule. However, I have to obey the 
second rule and I would not let you do it."

One of the other students objected, "It violates the first rule. It may 
not hurt others, but it could lead to harm for themselves."

One of the female students said, "That's true. Sometimes it is hard 
to remember that the first rule includes harm to yourself as well as 
harm to others."

Little John and Beth looked at each other suspicious about the 
nature of the argument. Finally, Beth asked, "How could we be 
harmed?"

The question was met with silence. Finally, one of women that had 
a very difficult time dealing with nudity at the beginning of the 
year answered, "There are some men and women in this world that 
will hurt you beyond your ability to imagine. Your body is not big 
enough to handle some things that they would do to you."

One of the male students examined the woman that had just spoken 
with an understanding eye. Her comment had explained many of 
the problems that she had at the beginning of the semester. Even 
now she would occasionally have problems when people touched 
her without warning. He said, "Beth. Little John. Listen to her. She 
has been harmed in the past by the same people that we are 
attempting to protect you from."

Little John asked, "Exactly what kind of harm are we talking 
about?"

Ed leaned forward at this point. His eyes flashed with an unnatural 
light as he said, "We are talking about evil, pure evil. There is an 
evil so ugly that most adults can not look upon it. Daddy John 
fights it as hard as he can. I fight it as hard as I can. The students 
here are learning how to fight it. You are too young to face that 
evil yet. Even I have bad dreams about the things I've seen."

The idea that their parents might be afraid of something so much 
that it gave them bad dreams at night convinced the two that it was 
better to follow their advice. Little John said, "I'm convinced that 
harm could come to us."

Shaking her head, Beth said, "When will we be safe?"

"You will never be totally safe, but there are places where you are 
safer."

Frowning, Little John asked, "Where?"

"Here is one place. Another is our home back in Arizona. There is 
where your Grandfather Leroy lives. There is the Native American 
College that is run by your Great Grandfather William Redman."

The information provided to the children required a little time for 
them to comprehend. They knew they could go without clothes at 
home. If that was one of the safer places, then wasn't it possible for 
them to do it at another of the safer places? It was an interesting 
question. Little John asked, "So if this is safer, then could we go 
without clothes here?"

Ed sat back and asked the other students, "What do you think?"

Three of them shook their heads no and four nodded their heads. 
Ed asked, "Would one who thinks it would be okay like to state 
their reasons?"

"It is safe here."

"Would someone who think not, please state your reason?"

"We don't know how safe it is."

Smiling, Ed said, "Can anyone think of a compromise?"

"Only if chaperoned."

Ed turned to the two children and asked, "What do you think of 
that?"

"What is caperoned?"

"Chaperoned. It means that you are watched over by another for 
the sake of protecting you," replied Ed. 

Beth thought about it for a long time without answering. Little 
John was bored and said, "Fine with me."

"Okay," replied Beth.

Nodding, Ed asked, "So are you ready to get out of your clothes 
now?"

"No. We just wondered, that's all," replied Little John. He stood up 
and said, "Let's go see Sarah."

As the two children walked off, one of the students asked, "All that 
just to walk away?"

Nodding, Ed said, "I didn't think for a minute that they actually 
wanted to go naked."

"So why involve us?" asked one of the students.

"Three reasons. First, it was necessary for them to understand that 
our rules are not arbitrary. Second, you needed to work through the 
question as well," replied Ed. He stood up to leave.

"What's the third reason?"

"I didn't know how to answer them," answered Ed with a wink and 
a smile. 

His departing comment was a topic of conversation that lasted 
through an entire class. Mostly, it was his admission of not 
knowing how to answer the question that was the central topic of 
conversation. The interaction with the children was also the subject 
of great debate. It was hard for them to relate to such young 
children acting in such an adult fashion. 

Linda lay in bed, weak and tired from her pregnancy. Her ordeal 
was almost over according to the doctors. Only a week or so more 
to go before she could expect to enter labor. Between the kicking 
of the child and the muscle spasms in her stomach, she was ready 
for the pregnancy to end. When Ed entered the room, she smiled 
up at him and said, "I'm sorry that you couldn't attend Leroy's 
graduation party."

"Don't be sorry. He knows why I'm here. He wanted to have the 
party here, but that wasn't reasonable," replied Ed. 

"Still, I know how much you love him," replied Linda as he took 
her hand and kissed it. The gesture touched her deeply, as he knew 
it would. She added, "I know how much you love all of us."

"Yes, I do. You are in pain and if my being here provides the least 
little comfort, I won't leave your side," replied Ed. This had been a 
very rough pregnancy and he didn't understand why. Her stomach 
spasms and the fact that her morning sickness lasted until the last 
month of her pregnancy puzzled the doctors.

Laura Brockmire came over to where Ed stood and watched as he 
talked to his wife. The past few months had been very hard on Ed 
and she understood his dedication to her well being. Putting a hand 
on his shoulder, she said, "Ed, I have to ask you to leave now."

Looking over at Laura, Ed asked, "Why?"

"The Goddess only knows."

Looking over at Laura, Ed decided that it was her calling and not 
his place to interfere. He stepped out of the room and waited in the 
hall. As he waited more green robed Druids entered the infirmary 
walking with their characteristic calm. Watching them enter, he 
couldn't help but worry about Linda. Turning, he found Sarah, 
Little John, and Beth watching him. Attempting to let them know 
that he wasn't worried, he winked and said, "They threw me out."

In her most comforting voice, Beth said, "Don't worry Daddy Ed."

Laura came out of the infirmary and said, "Sarah, your cousin is 
asking for you."

Sarah nodded and followed Laura into the infirmary leaving Ed 
and the kids outside. Looking down at the kids, Ed asked, "Who's 
up for some ice cream?"

He had to run in order to keep up with them as they headed directly 
for the dining room. The waitress was at the table shaking her head 
at their order knowing that if she served the kids ice cream without 
a parent around that she'd be in big trouble with two angry 
mothers. Ed joined them at the table and said, "Don't worry. They 
can have ice cream."

"I'll have a Hot Fudge Sundae with Vanilla ice cream."

"I'll have a cup of chocolate ice cream."

Smiling, Ed said, "I'll have a banana split."

The waitress knew that Ed would order that and asked, "Is Kelly or 
Ling around?"

"No," replied Ed noticing the look of relief on the face of the 
waitress. He wondered what kind of threats the wives had used on 
her to create that kind of reaction. What ever it was, it was most 
effective and could prove useful in the future.

It was a few minutes later that the waitress showed up with the 
three deserts on a tray. Setting them out on the table, she walked 
away. As Ed examined his banana split, he said "Wow."

"Wow," echoed Little John with delight in his eyes as he took in 
the Sundae.

"Wow," exclaimed Beth as she stared at the scoop of chocolate ice 
cream. 

As one, they all started eating their ice cream treats. Each made 
noises of appreciation as they tasted it. One of the students started 
laughing and called over, "I have never seen three people enjoy 
their food as much as you three."

The three of them winked at each other. It was clear that Ed was a 
bad influence on the children, but none of the students would have 
dared suggest it. One of the things that Ed had made sure of was 
that the kids understood how to enjoy food and not to use food as a 
way to escape problems. They were still enjoying their food when 
Sarah came down to the dining room. Looking at the three of them, 
she adopted exactly the same pose that Kelly normally gave when 
she caught them having a between meal snack. The kids took one 
look at her and pointed at Ed saying simultaneously, "It was his 
idea!"

"Thanks a lot kids," muttered Ed as he shoveled another spoonful 
of food into his mouth.

Sarah asked, "Would you kids like to attend a lecture for a while?"

"I'd rather go to the library," answered Beth.

Little John didn't understand his sister's attraction to the library, but 
knew that he could probably find a book about animals. Rather 
than argue with her, he said, "That's fine with me."

When each of them had finished about a third of their serving, they 
pushed the dish away and stood up. Sarah asked, "Aren't you going 
to eat the rest?"

"No. It is not good to over eat," replied Little John.

Sarah stared at them as they made their way to the library. Turning 
to look at Ed, she asked, "What did they mean by that?"

"I told them that it was never a good idea to eat more than was 
comfortable."

"How did you get them to believe you?"

Laughing, Ed said, "I let them eat as much ice cream as they 
wanted one night. They had stomachaches for hours. So what 
brings you here?"

"Linda wanted me to take care of you."

Puzzled, he said, "I feel fine. She's the one that is in the infirmary."

"Oh, you silly man. She didn't mean that way."

"Oh, I understand," replied Ed.

He followed Linda to the bedroom. Once there, she said, "Get 
undressed."

Lifting his robe over his head and removing his sandals, Ed was 
soon naked. Sarah took her time disrobing, attempting to entice 
him with a slow reveal of her body. Even though he had seen her 
naked body for years, her slow strip had the desired result as his 
cock slowly erected. She moved over to the bed and sat there with 
her long hair covering her breasts. Ed couldn't help how much he 
enjoyed the sight of a woman with long hair using it in a sexy 
fashion.

Sarah wiggled a finger in a come hither motion. Ed slid onto the 
bed next to her and kissed her nipple that peaked around the hair. 
Much to his shock, she pushed him on his back and wound her 
long hair around his cock. Seeing the smile on her face, she said, 
"Linda said that you liked to fuck long hair."

Ed was about to reply when she slowly rubbed his cock with her 
hair. All that came out of his mouth was a simple groan. She 
started rubbing his cock with serious intent. Her cousin had warned 
her that it would be best to cover the head of his cock with her 
mouth when he started to come. 

The sensation of long silky hair wrapped around his cock was like 
no other erotic feeling that Ed had ever experienced. It wasn't wet 
like a cunt or a mouth. It wasn't hard like a hand. It wasn't even 
enveloping and warm like fucking a woman's breasts. It was silky 
and soft, that tickled his nervous system more than excited his 
cock. 

Wide-eyed and amazed, Sarah watched the reaction that Ed had to 
her administrations. This was a kind of power over a man that she 
had never imagined. It wasn't long before he started muttering, 
"I'm going to come. I'm going to come."

Sarah bent down and sucked the head of his cock into her mouth. 
With little time to spare, her mouth was soon flooded with his 
come. Unlike her cousin, Sarah wasn't so fond of come and now 
her mouth was full of it. She moved up and fed his come back to 
him, surprised at how easily he accepted it. Returning to his cock, 
she cleaned up the come that slowly seeped out. 

Lying on the bed, Ed was overwhelmed by the sensations. Sarah 
removed her hair from around his cock. Looking down at him, she 
said, "Wow, what a sense of power."

"Huh?" asked Ed as his mind continued to float in the sky. 

Realizing the state of mind that Ed was in, Sarah realized that with 
just a little effort she could get him hard for a nice little ride. It was 
a simple matter of running her fingernails up and down the length 
of his partially erect cock to get it back to attention. Happy with 
the result, she climbed onto his cock and lowered herself on it. As 
a shudder of pleasure ran through her body, she said, "Oh fuck, I've 
missed this monster cock."

Taking her time, she fucked herself with his cock. Her attention 
was turned inward, following her own progress towards orgasm 
than paying any attention to what Ed might be experiencing. For 
Ed, he was happy lying there as Sarah did all of the work and 
appreciated the lack of demand for him to perform. Too many of 
the sexual encounters he had with the women in the house required 
him to do all the fucking and this occasion was a pleasant change.

Running a hand over her body, his thumb gave the slightest brush 
against her clit. The soft touch was just enough to send her over the 
edge. She froze in position as her muscles locked up in orgasm. 
Stomach quivering and legs trembling in a full body orgasm, the 
only sound from her was a slight squeak. 

Ed had come during the middle of her ride without her paying any 
attention to the fact. The last five minutes of her ride were almost 
painful, but he couldn't complain. She calmed down and asked 
him, "Did you come?"

Reaching up and pinching her nipples, Ed answered, "Yes, I did."

She sighed and climbed off him. Lying on the bed beside Ed, she 
fell asleep. Listening to her soft breathing lulled Ed to sleep within 
a few minutes. 

The collision of two bodies on his forced Ed to wake from a very 
deep sleep. Confused, he looked around and found Beth and Little 
John on each side of him with smiles on their faces. They made 
tickling motions with their fingers for just a long enough time for 
Ed to realize what was going to follow. For the next five minutes it 
was a full out tickle war with Ed losing. Laughing, he picked them 
both up and said, "I surrender!"

"You can't surrender," cried Little John as he was ready to carry on 
for a lot longer. 

"I can't?" asked Ed wondering when the rules of a tickle war had 
changed.

"Nope, you can't," asserted Beth.

"And why can't I?"

"Because you have to be awake enough for the news."

Ed stood up and walked around the room carrying a child under 
each arm jiggling them as he went. As he moved, he asked, "What 
news is that?"

"I'm a big sister!"

"And I'm a big brother!"

Ed froze in place and looked down at the children as he realized 
what that meant. Linda had finally given birth. Without setting the 
children down, he ran to the infirmary to find out how Linda was 
doing. Having made the trip several times a day and believing that 
he could make the trip with his eyes shut, it only made sense that 
this was the one time that he got lost. 

Beth and Little John finally got his attention so that he set them 
down. With each of them grabbing one of his hands, they lead him 
to the infirmary where Laura was waiting for him with a smile. She 
looked at Ed and said, "You could have gotten dressed."

Smiling, Ed said, "I was too excited to remember. How is she?"

"She's weak, but that's to be expected. The baby is doing fine," 
smiled Laura. She didn't want to tell Ed that the baby wouldn't cry 
when they gave him the ritual slap to his bottom to trigger the 
breathing reflex. She swore the child had just looked at her as if to 
ask her what was the problem that required her to hit him. 

Looking at the kids that had lead him to the infirmary, he asked, 
"Laura, could you watch the kids for a minute?"

"Sure."

Entering the room, Linda was on the bed with a baby nestled next 
to her. The baby was perfectly developed with the proper number 
of fingers and toes. Ed reached out to touch the perfect little hand 
amazed once again at the miracle of birth. Linda smiled weakly at 
him and said, "Say hello to William Redman Carter."

"Hello William Redman Carter," cooed Ed as he brushed a hand 
against the baby's face. 

Linda watched Ed as he examined the child. After several minutes, 
Ed picked up her hand and kissed it gently. He asked, "How are 
you feeling?"

"My stomach has stopped twitching."

"That's good. I bet you are tired."

"Yes, but I can't wait to get out of the bed," replied Linda. She 
hoped that it wouldn't be long before she could get out of bed and 
move around. Laura had promised that it would only be two or 
three days, but she would need to get a little stronger. Glancing 
down at his cock, she smiled and asked, "Did my cousin take care 
of you?"

"Yes, she did," answered Ed. It dawned on him that she had sent 
Sarah to keep her away while she was giving birth. Giving voice to 
his suspicion, he asked, "Did you send me away on purpose?"

"Of course, my lovely man. You've been so worried about me that 
I couldn't stand the idea of you standing out there hearing me 
scream while I gave birth. Besides, it's been ages since you got 
laid."

Their discussion was interrupted by the arrival of the two kids. 
Beth and Little John approached the baby and looked at it with 
wide eyes. Little John asked, "What is the baby's name?"

"William Carter."

"So I have a little brother?"

"Yes, you do," answered Linda with a smile. 

"May I touch him?"

"Be gentle, he's very small."

As Little John reached out to touch the baby, Beth said, "We must 
protect the weak from the strong."

"William, I will protect you," vowed Little John as he touched the 
baby with a gentle hand. 

Watching the children interact with the new baby touched Ed far 
more than he could express in words. He knew that William would 
be watched over with great attention from his older brother and 
sister. Smiling down at the two, he said, "I know you'll take care of 
him."

Both of the children stood up straighter. They reacted with pride 
from the simple words of recognition from their father. Little John 
said, "Thanks."

He bent down and kissed each child on its head. He said, "I love 
both of you kids."

Beth looked around awkwardly and said, "Gosh, you guys are 
always telling us that."

"That's only because it is true."

Little John grabbed Beth's hand and said, "Let's go play a little."

Ed watched the two kids go. Once they were gone, he pulled out 
his cell phone and called home to give the rest of the family the 
great news. The announcement was greeted with great rejoicing 
that he could hear over the phone. Kelly was shouting her 
congratulations. John broke in and said, "We'll be there tomorrow. 
Leroy defended his dissertation today. He's now Dr. Jones."

For the first time, it dawned on Ed that Leroy had just become Dr. 
Jones and that reminded him of the archeologist of the movies. He 
knew what his present for Leroy was going to be. Even as he 
decided on the present, he wondered where he could find the 
proper hat and a bullwhip. 

Once he had hung up, he told Linda, "Leroy is now Dr. Jones."

Still weak from having the baby, she smiled as she said, "That's 
great. I know he was so worried about it."

Their discussion was interrupted by the arrival of Laura. With the 
kind of take no prisoner type of attitude common to nurses world 
over, she told Ed, "She needs to get some rest. You can come back 
in a couple of hours."

"Thanks, Laura," replied Ed. He bent down and kissed Linda on 
her forehead. Standing beside the bed, he looked down upon her 
with his face expressing his love. "I love you, Linda Carter."

"I love you too, Ed Biggers."

Kissing a finger and touching the forehead of William Carter, Ed 
said, "We love you too, William."

Laura guided him out of the infirmary and held him up a minute. 
With a concerned look on her face, she said, "I just wanted to tell 
you one thing about William."

"Is there a problem?"

"Not really. We are going to have to wait a day or so to know 
more, but he doesn't seem to speak."

"Doesn't speak? He's just a baby."

Laura smiled realizing how Ed might have misinterpreted her 
statements. Correcting her previous statement, she said, "He 
doesn't cry."

"Oh, that is a little more serious," replied Ed as he considered it 
although he didn't know how much more serious. Shrugging his 
shoulders, he decided that he could love a child with the same 
intensity of feelings regardless of handicap. He asked, "Is there 
some corrective action that needs to be taken?"

Laura frowned as she considered the discussions held earlier and 
answered, "All of the Druids called in to consult have said that he 
is perfectly healthy."

"That's all we can ask for," Ed said as he looked back in the room. 
The little fellow was sleeping his mother's arms and looked quite 
contented. He decided that any action would have to wait until the 
whole family was gathered together. "For now, let's just watch and 
wait."

"That's what I was going to recommend. I assume that he will get 
hungry after a while and start screaming at some point."

"Sounds about right. What can you tell me about Linda's health? 
When can she get up?"

Laura looked in at Linda resting on the bed. Tonight would 
probably be the first full night of rest that she would have. They 
would get some breast milk from her before she went to sleep and 
bottle-feed the baby during the night. She answered, "Tomorrow, 
I'll let her get up and walk around a little, but not too much. She's 
pretty weak from having spent almost eight months in bed."

"What should I do?"

"Go play with your kids!"
