On the plane, Judy was thankful she had thought to ask Charley, their nextdoor neighbour to keep an eye out on Becky while she was gone. She knew that Rebecca was of legal age, hell at her age she was married to Tom, but she still worried. Since she had been divorced from Tom for the last five years, Judy was really happy that Becky showed no signs of wanting to marry anyone at her tender age. Judy was sitting in first class with papers strewn all over the place, wanting to be totally prepared for this meeting in Chicago. Allowing her thoughts to return to Walnut Grove for just a moment, she knew Becky would be fine. After all it was only going to be a four day trip and Charley was there.
It was hot. Becky was lying out by the pool in a lounge chair. Music was playing from an unseen source somewhere. Charley was surprised but pleased that it was not some heavy rock music that no matter how loud kids play it, you could never hear the words. Charley was looking over the fence and he saw Becky laying face down catching some rays. He stared at the pretty little girl because she looked totally naked. On closer inspection, he could see that she had just undone the bra to avoid that white line across her back and if he looked carefully he could just see a strip of material above her hips. Becky sat up, flinging her long blond hair to the side. She left her bra laying face up in the lounge so Charley got a nice view of her perky little breasts. He looked lower and when she raised one leg to sit up, he could see a tiny strip of material buried between her lovely ass cheeks. Charley hardened.
Becky reached over and took a big bite of a sandwich that had been lying next to her chair in the sun. As she chewed, she looked over and saw Charley standing there. Blushing a pretty shade of pink, Becky put down the sandwich and placed her hands over her breasts and giggled.
"Oh, hello Mr. Swanson. I didn't see you there."
"Sorry, Becky, I didn't mean to startle you" he smiled at her. "Your mother asked me to keep an eye on you while she is gone, but I am pretty sure, this is not what she meant."
"Ohhh mom! She tried to ship me off to my grandmother's, can you believe that? At my age? She worries too much!"
"Your mom loves you, hon. She is just being ... a mom." he laughed.
"I know" Becky replied, " but she thinks I am still 10 years old!"
Charley could not resist, "Well, sweetie, I can see that you aren't. I will let you get back to your sun worshipping and I will check on you later. OK?"
Becky dropped one hand and took another big bite of her sandwich. "Ok, Mr. Swanson. Thanks" she said with a full mouth.
"Don't stay out too long, Becky. That sun is hot!" and with that he left the yard to go into the house.
Becky finished off her sandwich and layed back down for just a little while longer.
Charlie had just finished his beer and pizza when looked across to the house next door. It was dark out but he noticed that there were no lights on. He could see the red mustang sitting in the driveway, so he knew Becky did not go out. Taking the empty beer bottle and pizza box into the kitchen, Charley grabbed the emergency key to nextdoor and walked across the lawn. Charley knocked on the door calling Becky's name, wanting to give the kid a chance to get it together if she was making out with some boy on the sofa. No answer. So, Charley slipped the key into the hole and stepped inside.
The house was dark. He could make out some noises but he was not sure where they were coming from. Listening, he heard it was from upstairs. Charley dashed up the stairs calling Becky's name. Still no answer. He looked into her room, no one. Although her bed was crumpled as though she had been laying there. He slipped down to Judy's room, still no Becky. Finally, he heard that noise again and he followed the sound. The door was half opened and Charley peeked in to see Becky sprawled on the floor with her head over the porcelain bowl, retching.
"Becky, honey.. your sick? Why didn't you call me?"
Becky leaned over the bowl and was sick again. Charley held back her long strands of blond hair and gently rubbed her back repeating, "There, there, honey. It will be ok. I am here, honey."
Finally, when the spasms stopped, Becky looked up at Charley too sick to even feel embarrassment. Charley reached over to flush and then picked Becky up into his arms and carried her to Judy's room, placing her on the big bed. Running down to the laundry room, Charley came back quickly with a bucket and placed it next to the bed.
"Feeling better, honey?" Charley asked.. but no sooner was it asked when Becky sat up and Charley passed her the bucket.
The poor dear retched and retched, falling weakly back on the bed. Charley rushed to the bathroom to get a cold cloth and a cup with a little mouthwash in it. Lifting Becky gently, he held her up as he slid the cool cloth all over her face and neck. He gave her the cup of mouthwash and she rinsed before spitting into the bucket. Charley laid her back on the pillows and left to clean up the mess and get a few things.
He rummaged through the medicine cabinet and found just what he needed. Then he filled a bowl with tepid water and got a fresh facecloth. He returned to the bedroom to doctor the little girl. Placing the bowl on the night-table with the cloth floating in the water, he put down a box beside it and a thermometer with a jar of Vaseline. He reached over to Becky brushing her hair from her face.
"You ok now, honey?"
"Yes, Mr. Swanson, a little. I was so sick and it happened so fast, I couldn't call you." she answered in a weak, raspy voice.
"It's ok, honey. I am here now and I will take care of you. Just trust me sweetheart, I will help you feel better."
Becky was so relieved that her tummy was giving her a break for the moment. She had been vomiting for awhile. There couldn't be anything left! It was nice that Mr. Swanson was there taking care of her. For once, she admitted her mom was right to have him look out for her.
Charley carefully rolled Becky to her side away from him. He told her to trust him he would be gentle and take care of her. In Becky's weakened state and the caring tone of his voice, she was calmer now and wanted Mr. Swanson to just make her better.
Surprised, Becky felt her hips being raised as Mr. Swanson lowered her shorts and took her panties with them. He only dropped them to her knees and then he raised her legs and bent them to her chest.
"What are you doing?" she asked in a nervous but weak voice.
