CHAPTER 63 - CRAZY WEEK
CHAPTER 63 - CRAZY WEEK
I don't know what is wrong with the girls. It all started the day we got our shots, I guess. Did Ron do
something? I mean they were fine before that, weren’t they?
It's been one week now. Ana screamed when I tried to give her a bath the next morning like I was
about to murder her or something. I got so scared that I had to call Jay. He came over and it was not on
much help. Ana was acting out so much that we didn't know what to do. When Jay took her for a
spanking, she fainted on us! She is glued to Carol like a baby monkey. And she tried running away
twice. TWICE. I didn’t know she still wanted to leave us. That she did not think we were a perfect family
yet. That hurt, her trying to leave.
Carol, she doesn't want to go swimming anymore. I tried teaming up with her to tease Jay about
Timothy and she screamed at me to stop, like hollered.
"What the Fuck happened though?" I tell for the thousandth time that week. We are sitting on the dining
table trying to eat. The girls are sleeping together.
"I think we should take them to the doctor." He says.
"Yeah sure. So that Ana dies of a heart attack and Carol dies of bursting a vein the way she screams."
He groans.
"What happened? What the duck happened to them suddenly? We have called Ron already haven't
we? You sure he doesn't know anything?"
"Thrice. No, he doesn't."
"Ana won't read. Carol won't swim. I even offered to take her meet Timothy lest it would cheer her up
and she started crying."
"I am going mad here."
"You locked all the windows, right?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe we should talk to Carol again, she is not fainting on us at least?"
"Ana won’t leave her alone. It's like she only feels safe with her around, but why? We did not even
spank her or punished her. How is she so scared?"
"The girls will make themselves sick of this goes on and we will go bananas. Seriously. We have to do
something."
We hear the baby monitor and go upstairs. Carol is awake and trying to remove Ana from top of her.
I lift Ana up and place her beside Carol on her crib.
I stroke her cheek and give her a peck. Her eyes fill up with unshed tears. Jay looks at us from near the
door.
"You want milkshake baby?" I ask her and pick her up. She nods bit looks at Ana.
"It's okay. You be back here the minute she wakes up." I rub her back and carry her downstairs. Jay
follows us down then goes to the kitchen to make Carol's favourite strawberry shake.
I take her to the living room. "You want to draw with daddy, sweet thing?" I ask her and she looks at me
dubiously.
She nods. I get the papers and the colours and we start colouring. Jay brings her the milkshake. She
sips OT occasionally while concentrating on her picture.
"Jay, did you pack Ana's bags yet?" I ask him. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
Carol looks up at me.
"Do it, if you haven't already."
"Daddy, why pack?" Carol asks. She is in her littlest headspace cos She is not mostly Now because
she has to take care of Ana all the time who screams bloody murder if we are alone with her.
"Yes." I am giving her monosyllabic answers intentionally.
"Where daddy?" She looks at us quizzically.
"Back to her Orphanage."
"Huh? Why? I be alone?"
"There is something seriously wrong Carol. We know it but we cannot help it unless we know what
exactly it is now, can we? Ana keeps running away, she is scared of us, what else can we do? She has
made herself I'll with all the screaming and crying. She even passed out on us twice." I tell her
solemnly.
She scrunches her face and thinks hard.
"We asked you. You told us you don't know what's wrong. We asked Uncle Ron he doesn't know
anything either. What else can be done?" I prompt.
Please, please, please Carol talk. Tell us what's wrong. Please. I am begging her internally. I look at
Jay his fingers are crossed and I roll my eyes.
"I... Umm... So... If you knew what was wrong... You would help us?" She asks looking at us hopefully.
I nod not trusting myself to speak.
"Even if it's something bad? We have been bad?"
"Baby, there is nothing daddies cannot solve, if we know what it is. You girls are not bad, never bad." I
pick her up, place her on my lap and kiss her cheek.
"Punishment...?" She says looking pretty scared.
"I promise you, pinkie promise no one is going to punish you even if you have killed someone. Just tell
us what's wrong. Please. "I hold both her hands and tell her earnestly.
"Ana?"
"No punishment for her too. I promise." I look at Jay and he nods. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Well... I... Ana... No I... That day... Davey and US... "She is trying to form a sentence when suddenly
went hear Ana cry in the baby monitor and the spell's broken. Carol looks at us wide-eyed and then
runs upstairs to her room.
Jay grabs a vase and throws it at the wall. "Fuck!" He looks furious.
"We were so FUCKING close! But I got an idea!" I grin!
