After spending the better part of the morning watching Saturday morning line up of cartoons. Jenny swiftly walked into the kitchen where her mother was sitting at the table making out the weeks shopping list. " Mommy can I go over to Nancy's house to play?" " I'm going shopping baby, don't you want to come with?" Joanne asked. "No me and Nancy's building a club house for our barbies." " Okay but let me call Nancy's mother first to make sure it okay. I may be awhile with the crowds and I want to make sure that you being there doesn't interfere with any of Vicky's plans that she may have." Joanne explained. After placing a quick phone call Joanne hung up the phone" Okay but I want you home in time for supper okay sweet heart." " Okay." Jenny ended as she headed out the door. Walking down stairs Joanne stopped at Nicci's bedroom door. " Hey Nic, I'm going to the store your welcome to come if you'd like?" Joanne asked. She always liked to use shopping as a way to spend quality time with her daughters. Opening the door, Nicci stated. " No." "Okay if your sure, I'll be a couple hours at least." Joanne said. Soon Joanne was heading to the store, waving to Roger as she passed him while turning the corner. ........... Laying cross ways on her bed Nicci continued to flip through a magazine while listening to the soothing music as it flowed through the room. Suddenly without warning she was startled when she heard the front door close. Looking at the clock and seeing that only a few minutes had passed the thought of Joanne forgetting something crossed her mind. Letting the thought leave her she continued to read. She was so involved with the article that she didn't hear her bedroom door as it quietly open...... " Waiting for me I see." Roger said catching a glimsp of the thin fabric between Nicci's legs. Bolting up at the sound of his voice Nicci spun around." GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE." she pleaded out in fear. " Now you don't really exspect me to do that, and pass up the opportunitly do you?" He said dismissing her pleas. " I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE." She demanded raising her hand as if to shield her from his abuse. Then seeing the door cracked open she saw a way to escape him. With that thought she bolted towards the door Advancing towards her, Roger shoved her back down on the bed" Oh no you aint going anywhere." " NOOO......NOOOO..NOOOOOO." She cried raising her leg as a way to fight him off. Becoming angry from her putting up a fight against him, Roger back handed her in the face as a way to gain control. While she held her cheek from the sting he had caused, he in turn grabbed her legs spreading her open wide. " I don't know why you fight, you know you like it." He said tearing her underpants away. And in one blow he plunged himself deep inside, making Nicci scream out" Yes and you like me to give it to you." .........Meanwhile.......... After Jenny and Nancy concluded their little girl plans they both sat on the swing set chewing a piece of bubble gum. As for Jenny she tried blowing her first bubble that Nicci had been trying teaching her for the past week. Jenny with the DeSoto determination was trying hard. All of a sudden she let out a squeal. " I did it , I did it." with her mouth full of bubble as she started to run home " Jenny where are you going?" Nancy asked to her friends back as she ran "I'm going home to show Nicci I can do it." Jenny's voice became softer the farther she got from Nancy ........ Running through her house Jenny quickly headed down the stairs to Nicci's room. Seeing that the door was slightly opened Jenny peered in side. Her face muscles were now contracting as she started to pout. Her tiny legs were froze in place as she saw her big sister and Roger on the bed without their clothes on. Watching as her sister's tears stream down her cheeks while Roger continued his sinful deed. Feeling a strange sensation wash over her Nicci moved her head towards the door." GET OUT OF HERE." She screamed out at Jenny. Hearing her sisters words Jenny ran up the stairs as fast as her legs could carry her. Feeling very frightened she crawled under her bed. Replaying the scene in her head she sobbed. ......... With her tears stopping Jenny climbed out from under her bed. Hearing a car door slam, she looked out her window and seen just as Roger pulled away. Slowly Jenny walked out of her room still very frightened. But knowing Roger had left she found the courage to go down stairs. Walking into Nicci's room and not finding her, she went into the family room. She could hear the softened whimpers coming from Nicci as she sat in the corner of the small couch. Walking up closer Jenny felt her tears as she seen her sister shake in fear. " Nicci." Jenny said softly in pout. " Is that the game?" She asked Looking up Nicci saw her baby sister and all she could say is " Yes." Putting her tiny arms around her sister Jenny pulled Nicci close for a hug. " Nicci, why dont you tell daddy you're hurting? He can fix your ouchies." She said. In her innocent mind Roy could fix anything. " Oh Jenny, I'm sure dad is good at putting bandaids on cuts and scraps but I'm afraid he can't fix my ouchies." " Why not?" Jenny asked looking at Nicci " Because I'm afraid my ouchies are in here and here." Her words spoken in a whisper as she laid her shaky hand on her forehead and then across her heart. Without another word Nicci got to her feet and then quietly disappeared behind her door. Laying on her bed she gave in to more tears crying herself in to slumber. .........Three hours later....... Walking through the kichen with her arms full. Joanne spotted Jenny sitting at the table. " Hey what's up, you look so sad." Joanne said mimicing Jenny's somber look " Hi mommy." She said almost in a whisper. " Jenny you want to talk about it, did you and Nancy have a fight?" Joanne asked in a warm caring voice. " No mommy." " Hey I know, I bought some flowers would you like to help me plant them?" Joanne asked trying to lift her daughters spirts. " Maybe later." Jenny said as she got up and headed for the door. ...........Two hours later....... Standing in front of the opened front door Nicci spied on Joanne kneeling down on the sidewalk as she ever so carefully planted the delicate flowers that she planned to use as borders. Quietly Nicci stepped out to the porch and joined Joanne. Without a word she sat down " Hey I'm glad you joined me, would you like to help?" Joanne offered. Then looking up she noticed tears streaming down her step daughters cheeks." Nicci what's the matter why the tears?" She asked concern Without a word Nicci lowerd her head and caved. Startled by her actions Joanne pulled her close allowing her to cry." Shhhhhhhh,,,, it's okay Nicci..... let it go......I got you....." Joanny soothed. " Why are you shaking baby girl? why?"She asked fighting her own tears Pulling into the driveway, Roy quickly turned off the engine. Then climbing out he stopped short seeing the display before him. From where he stood he could see Nicci's body shaking violently with her pain escaping through her tears. He watched as Joanne tried deprately to soothe in her arms.Then walking up he could hear Joanne as she desprately tried to soothe Nicci's terror filled mind. Sencing his presents, Nicci pulled away from Joanne. Then looking up towards her dad with tears she whimpered out" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."hile running towards the house before Roy could stop her " Jo what's going on here, What was that about." Roy needed to know for he could see the fear in Nicci's eyes when she looked up to him Pulling her husband in her arms " I dont know Roy." Joanne sobbed. ......... Sitting at the dining room table, the dead silence was deafening. Glancing at his daughter's first at Nicci the way she picked at her food with her head down. Then at Jenny as she to had her head down taking small bites of food. " Okay thats it." Roy declared as the quiet getting the better of him. " I demand to know what's going on with you two right now." Starled by the raising of their father's voice both Nicci and Jenny jumped. Niether one of them wanted to be in the position where they had to speak. " Come on, Seems someone sould be saying something. I dont know about Chris here or your mother but I might as well be eating alone. Dinner time is family time." With his words Nicci finally spoke. " Nothing's wrong, just tired I guess." Looking towards Jenny before once again lowering her head. "Jenny, you tired too?" Roy questioned " Yes daddy." Jenny spoke softly Then feeling her tears threaten once more Nicci quietly got to her feet." I'm going to bed now." " Wait." Jenny said. "Wait for me, I want to come too." Watching his daughters leave Roy looked at Joanne. " Jo, tell me what's going on here." He said Looking at Roy, Joanne took his hand in hers and began." Roy I dont what's going on, When I came home from the store, Jenny was sitting here at the table. She looked so sad like she lost her best friend. I asked her if she and Nancy had a fight and she said no. As far as Nicci, I'm not sure, But I do know that what happened today when I was planting flowers and she just started crying, it was like she had no control of it. Roy, that's not normal. I could feel her shaking but I dont know why. She didn't say a word just cried." Joanne said her voice was low " I see, well I'll go try to talk to her and try to get to the bottom of it." Roy said as he got up from the table. With purpose he headed down the stairs. Quietly Roy took a step inside Nicci's room. Seeing that his daughter's had fallen a sleep next to each other . Grabbing the blanket that was kicked to the foot Roy gently covered his daughters. " You two must be sleepy, didn't even stir." He whispered as he reached over kissing each of them on the fore head before exiting. TBC |
