Part 4

That evening after dinner, Charlie's mother told him and his sister to follow her and led him to his room, "Up on the table here Charlie, I need to examine you and I'm also going to flush your urinary tract. Mary go ahead and remove his diaper, he won't need one tonight." She said as she reached in a bag and started putting on a pair of surgical gloves. "Just relax Charlie this won't hurt you at all and it will speed up your getting better. Now first I'm going to do a general examination of you and you need to be calm and relaxed while I'm doing it." She continued as she stepped between his legs and started looking closely at his balls and penis then took some lubricant and dabbed it at the hole in the end of his penis, then reached into the bag and pulled out a package with a long tube like thing in it and opened the package.

"Charlie, I'm going to insert a Foley catheter into your penis and up into your bladder, it will allow me to put medicine directly into the troubled area, it will be a little uncomfortable going in, but it won't hurt you and once it's in, you'll barely notice it's in there." She explained then held his penis with one hand and picked up the tube and he felt her squeeze the head of his cock then a burning sensation as she started pushing it into his penis. "Just say calm Charlie, I know it burns a little but it's not doing any damage and it'll all be over in a second here. I put these in people every day, and it's not a big deal."

As soon as the catheter reached his bladder, a few drops of pee came out and she did something on the tube to stop the flow. "OK Charlie, it's in now. And I'm going to inflate a little collar inside you to keep it there," she said as she injected what looked like water in one of two tubes near his cock head where the thing ended. "OK it's in and will stay there until I drain that little ring, it doesn't hurt any does it?"

"No Mom I'm ok..." he mumbled.

"Good, now next I'm going to do an anal exam on you so I want you to move right down here to the end of the desk and pull your legs up by your head and hold them there. Mary will help hold them for you, because this will take a few minutes. Mary stand up by his head and hold his ankles so he doesn't strain trying to hold them up there."

"This is like a gynecological exam Mom? I see you have a speculum there." Mary asked.

"Not really sweetheart, I'm just going to use the speculum to open him, then once he's loose, I'll remove it and it's a manual exam, using my fingers to feel inside along the prostate and urinary track feeling for abnormalities. I don't expect to find anything, but it needs to be checked. OK Charlie I'm going to insert the speculum into your rear, it's metal and will feel cool, but it's really smooth and all rounded surfaces so it won't cut or anything, It'll will make you feel full but it won't hurt any as long as you stay relaxed and don't fight it going in."

"OK Mom," he whimpered, he didn't like the sound of this at all.

"OK Charlie I'm going to start now, can you feel it resting against your hole? Good, now just relax down there like you were going to the bathroom, and let it in. You'll feel some pressure as I move it into you but it won't hurt you unless you fight it, so just relax and let it slide in. That's my boy, it's moving in now, just stay relaxed, I'll stop just a little further in. You OK Charlie? That's all the further I'm going to push it."

"Yeah Mom, I'm OK..."

"OK Charlie this instrument is going to force your hole more open when I squeeze the handle down here, just stay relaxed and it won't hurt, you'll feel pressure as it opens you but that's all. Ready? Ok here we go, I'm going to go really slow just stay relaxed. That's it Charlie just let it open you, it's working nicely, stay relaxed, almost done, good. Now I'm going to leave it like that for a minute so you'll stay open long enough for me to do the exam."

Charlie looked up at his sister above his head as his mother put lubricant on one of her gloved hands and Mary smiled at him as she held his ankles.

"OK Charlie, I'm going to remove the instrument from you and you'll feel my fingers inside you feeling along the top side under your penis and back towards me. I'm going to start beyond your prostate, I know you know what that spot is, since Mary asked me about it, then I'll work my way back towards your hole, it will only take a minute or two so just stay relaxed."

Suddenly the pressure pushing his hole open was gone and he could feel the thing being removed but as soon as it was out, he felt two fingers slide in and reach deep inside him. Charlie grunted as they passed over his prostate going in and he could feel them probing him as they slowly moved back, until she hit his prostate again and his whole body jerked.

"Sorry about that Charlie, you apparently have a super sensitive prostate, usually men don't react that much, just a grunt or moan, but they don't jerk like you did, I'm past it now, so just stay relaxed I'm almost done. Good boy Charlie, I'm all done with that now. I'm going to put an absorbent pad below you here until you close back up, but that should only take a couple of minutes. Are you still feeling Ok son?"

"Yeah Mom, that wasn't too bad... I'm ok..."

Standing up, she stripped off the gloves and put on a fresh pair. "OK Charlie this is the part you won't like. Oh Sorry Mary you can release his legs and move him back up on the table so he can put his feet down. I'm going to irrigate your bladder using that catheter tube I put in you. Think of this like an enema in your behind, but instead I'm going to put three bags of fluid into your bladder one at a time, then drain each out before I put the next in." she explained holding up an IV bag. "This first one has medicine in it to fight the infection, and it will have to stay in you for 20 minutes, before I drain it back out, patients tell me they feel really full and there may be a burning feeling while the stuff in here kills germs and they tell me it feels like when you use strong mouth wash the way it tingles in there. But it shouldn't be all that uncomfortable for you. You're going to want it out sooner than the 20 minutes but it has to stay in there that long to do it's job. After I drain that out, the next two bags are just sterile water to flush you out, they shouldn't cause you any discomfort at all. Do you understand what I'm doing? Any questions?"

"This doesn't sound like I'm going to like it at all, but I understand what you're going to do. Is this really necessary?"

"Well we don't HAVE to do it this way, but it's the quickest way to get you well. It's exactly what they'd do if we had to put you in the hospital. This way will get you well in about the next five days. The other way would mean you taking those drugs and wearing diapers for close to a month. This also almost eliminates the possibility of a relapse if you even missed taking your drugs one time. Which would cause the whole thing to start over again. I'm going to have to do this treatment two more times minimum. First thing tomorrow morning and again tomorrow evening. Then the next morning I'll take a urine sample to work and have it tested. That will tell us whether we need to do it again. Then you'll be back to the same treatment schedule you've been on so far and back in diapers, for at least another 4 days."

"OK Mom if you say I need this, I don't like being sick like this and want this to end as soon as possible."

"Alright, Mary stay there by his head, and I'll hook up the first bag to the catheter and start it flowing into him."

His mother held up the first bag and released a clip on the hose connecting it to his catheter. Charlie felt cool liquid flowing into him and by the time the bag was half empty he was feeling really full and his insides were tingling then it started getting hot and turned into a burning feeling. "Mom!" he whimpered, "Please that hurts so bad.... Please Mom get it out of me...." He cried, tears flowing down his face and he started moving on the desk. Then he was screaming loudly and thrashing about.

"Hold him down Mary!" she ordered.

"Charlie Honey I know it hurts a little but it has to stay in there or it won't do any good. Relax baby, we need to do this to get you well and I know you can do this."

"Please Mom..." he cried, his hands turning white as he gripped the sides of the desk, trying not to fall off, as his sister used her bigger size and weight to hold him in place. Then screamed again.

"Charlie! Look at me Charlie!" his sister said gripping his chin and forcing his face towards her. "Charlie, I know it hurts, but you can do this Charlie. Look at me and talk to me Charlie, I love you Charlie and I'm here for you, talk to me Charlie, you can do this!" she said then stroked his face with her hand and kept eye contact with him, tears streaking his cheeks, which she gently wiped away.

"It really hurts Mary," he cried, "Mary don't leave me... I need you Mary... Oh... god it burns.... Please Mary stay with me..."

"I'm right here Charlie, and I'm not going anywhere. You can do this Charlie, I know you can, you're really strong Charlie, you've always been strong when you needed to. I know you can do this..."

"OK Mary... god it really hurts..."

Taking both his hands in hers, she held them tightly as she leaned over his chest keeping eye contact with him and constantly softly talking to him, distracting his mind from the pain in his belly. Charlie held onto her hands like his life depended on it, until after what seemed like forever, he heard. "OK kids I'm going to drain it out now, it's been long enough." His mother said down by his feet.

Removing the bag and attaching an empty one, she laid it on the floor below him and then opened the valve and fluid started quickly filling it. Finally the flow stopped and she removed the bag on the floor and attached another bag.

"You ok Charlie?" his sister softly asked, "It's out now... Mom's hooking up one of the bags of water now."

"It still burns and tingles, but not like before... Thanks Mary you got me through it...."

"I's staying right here Charlie until it's done and then as long as you need me after that. I love you Charlie and I need to be here for you."

"OK I'm starting the sterile water now, this should feel cool and stop the tingling and burning you're feeling Charlie, this is just washing you out." His mother said.

<sigh> "That feels better," Charlie whimpered and his body relaxing some and he didn't stir until he was feeling really full again, he just lay there looking into his sister's eyes as she continued to hold his hands in hers and offering her support. Soon that bag was done and being drained and his mother was preparing the next one. By the time the last bag was in and out of him, he was relaxed but Mary stayed right there with him, until the last bag was disconnected. Then stood back by his head again, her hands resting on his shoulders.

"OK Charlie we're all done." His mother told him. "Now I'm going to attach a collection bag to your catheter which can be attached to your leg. It will collect the urine from your bladder continuously, you won't feel a need to pee, because it will come out as fast as it gets into your bladder. When you go to bed, we'll attach a longer tube and the bag will hang down on the side of your bed. You'll need to keep the catheter in until we're sure we don't need to do this anymore, so at least for the next two days. Don't worry it won't hurt you being in there and it shouldn't be uncomfortable for you. Just make sure the tube doesn't get pinched closed. You can get up now Charlie. Mary you can let him go now."

"No I can't Mom, Charlie needs me right now and just so you know, I'm sleeping with him tonight, he needs me to hold him and I intend to do that." She firmly told her mother as she helped him stand and wrapped her arms around him. "That treatment hurt him a lot more than you said it would, he was in terrible pain, just look at my hands where his nails dung into them as he fought the pain. I'm not leaving him alone tonight!"

"I think you're exaggerating the amount of pain Mary..."

"Have you ever had that done to you?"

"Well no..."

"Then how do you know what it felt like for him; you're just guessing aren't you! Couldn't you hear him screaming or are you wearing ear plugs? I could feel his body shaking and saw the pain in his face and eyes and saw how hard he was straining fighting it. So don't stand there and tell me Charlie wasn't hurting badly. You don't know!"

"Regardless, I'll have to do it at least twice more, and it shouldn't hurt as much after this first time, because it's only fighting new growth of infection at that point. If you want to stay with him, go right ahead young lady, I don't have a problem with that."

"Can he take a bath or a shower with that thing in him?"

"Shower's ok but not a bath unless we seal him where it enters his penis."

"OK then come with me Charlie, you're all sweaty and I think a shower will help you feel better," she softly told her brother who was holding on to her tightly and guided him past their mother, who just stood there watching her daughter take charge.

In the bathroom, she turned on the water and quickly stripped off her clothes then guided Charlie into the spray and just held him tightly as the two of them stood under the water for a few minutes, then reached and got the bottle of shampoo and started washing an unresisting brother. Charlie wasn't talking, he was just standing there letting her do whatever she wanted, his eyes unfocused and his body slumped. When she'd finished with his hair, she worked on his body and then turned off the water and dried him and sat him on the toilet while she dried herself, but only put her t-shirt and panties back on when she was done. Mary was getting worried over his unresponsiveness as she walked him back to his room and sat him on his bed, then sat down beside him and moved him onto her lap. Holding him tightly for a few minutes before scooting back across the bed to lean back on the wall, pulling him with her.

"Charlie? Please look at me Charlie," she softly said directly into his ear.

He slowly turned his head and looked at her, as she gently stroked his face. "Charlie are you ok now? I'm really getting scared here Charlie, please talk to me."

Leaning his forehead against hers he finally spoke. "Yeah I'm ok Mary, but only because you got me through it and are holding me right now. Mary that hurt so bad I can't even describe it, you're the only reason I could take it at all. I love you Mary, I don't know how I'll ever repay you for helping me through that. Please just keep holding me for awhile, I'm all shaky inside and trying really hard not to start crying again."

"Charlie honey I'll hold you as long as you need or want me to. Let's change you to that night bag and we can lay down together, and maybe you can get some sleep. I know you're exhausted from that both mentally and physically. I'll stay right here with you all night and hold you. I'll keep you safe Charlie, no one will hurt you."

"K..."

"Does that thing in you hurt?"

"No... just feels strange with that tube sticking out my dick, kind of weird, but it doesn't hurt."

"OK I'm going to set you down from my lap then and grab that other bag and attach it, then we'll lay down and sleep together, OK?"

"Yeah, sounds good, I need to sleep... I don't want to think about doing that again in the morning..." he whispered in reply and his body shuddered.

The 'night bag' had a six foot tube attached to it and Mary removed the leg bag and attached the other one then used the big safety pin on the top to attach the bag to his mattress down near the bottom, then laid him down facing that side of the bed and went and turned the light off, then climbed in behind him and spooned up behind him, her arms wrapped around his smaller body, holding him to her.

"Comfortable Charlie, or do we need to shift some?"

"I'm good... Thanks Mary I love you so much..."

"I love you too Charlie now try to sleep, I'll be right here with you..."

It took awhile but she finally heard his breathing change and he was sound asleep. She was awake for a long time thinking about her brother and the pain she'd seen him go through with that treatment.

At 7:00am her mother came in and turned on the lights and found them sleeping in that same position, Mary woke up when the lights came on and noticed Charlie was still sleeping. "Can you do it with him laying like this? If you can I'll just stay here and hold him," she asked shifting her hands to hold his wrists, crossed over his chest.

"Yes, I'll just change tubes, maybe he'll sleep through it."

"I seriously doubt that!" Mary spat back at her, she was still seriously upset about the amount of pain this caused her brother.

"Mary you don't know anything about this..."

"Well you don't seem to know or care how much pain you're causing him either!"

"Enough! Hold him if you want to but I'm going to get this started, I have to be at work at 8:00."

Disconnecting the collection bag and connecting an IV bag to the catheter, she started the flow into Charlie and five minutes later he woke screaming and struggling, but Mary held him tightly. "It's ok Charlie, I've got you," Mary said into his ear, "Mom's doing your morning treatment, settle down and relax, It'll be over soon."

"Burns!" he cried out through gritted teeth as tears flowed down his cheeks, Charlie struggled against the pain but finally it was just too much and he collapsed in her arms passed out.

"I hope you're happy now Mom, Charlie's passed out cold from the pain!" Mary growled at the woman, "This can't be fucking normal! No fucking way!"

"You will not speak to me that way Mary, you don't know what you're talking about!"

"Well you don't know what you're doing so don't get all huffy with me Mother! I'm calling the doctor today and finding out how this SHOULD have been done! Because it's obvious he shouldn't be in THIS much pain! Did you skip class the day they covered this procedure?"

"You will do no such thing!"

"Watch me Mom! I'll make sure Dad knows about this too. You must really hate Charlie to treat him this way! A hospital would have done something to stop all this pain not lie to him that it would be 'uncomfortable' what bullshit!"

"Enough I'll not put up with this, you're grounded girl! I'll deal with you when I get home!"

"Do what you want to me but you're not torturing him anymore like this, I'll call the police and child protective services if I have to!"

"You'll do no such thing!"

"Think not? Just keep up the bullshit and see how fast you're explaining this to the authorities!"

"You can't do that!"

"Just finish it and get out Mother, I'm done trying to reason with you!"

Mary watched as her mother finished with the water flushes and stomped from the room, then heard her leave the house and start up her car.

When Kathy arrived at 8:00 she told her what happened and asked her to stay with him while she made some telephone calls. First she called the doctor who'd examined Charlie and who's name was on the drug containers and told him what was going on and asked him to come look at Charlie; he was still passed out and she was worried about him. Then called her father at work and told him what happened both times her mother had done the treatments and asked him to be home when the doctor came. Both agreed to come immediately.

Her father was there when the doctor arrived and looked at the materials in the bag her mother had been using and the labels on the solution bags. "Where's the morphine syringe?" the doctor asked.

"She didn't use any doctor, she just hooked him up to those bags with the green labels and put it into him and kept it there for 20 minutes before flushing him with the sterile water bags." Mary replied.

"What? How did he stand it?" the doctor asked.

"He was screaming and crying and pleading for it to stop the first time, I held him and his hands did this to me, as he fought the pain, whimpering, all the time," she replied with tears in her eyes and showing the doctor the fingernail cuts on her hands. "This morning he couldn't take it and passed out, during the treatment."

The doctor just stood and shook his head. Mr. Miller I'm sorry to tell you I must report this to Child Protective Services and the State Licensing Board; this procedure is NEVER performed on a patient who's not either heavily sedated and on pain medication or already unconscious. Furthermore, I did not write the necessary prescription for this medication; so I have no idea where your wife obtained it. I would not have done so even though she's a Registered Nurse. This is a hospital only treatment; it's never done at home, no matter who the caregiver is. However even in a hospital, it would have also included the necessary medications to make it tolerable for your son. This was downright torture the way it was done! I'll need to use your telephone."

Her father sat down heavily on the desk chair, looking at his small son on the bed, with the tube draped over the side from his small body. The doctor had given him a sedative to make him sleep. So at least Charlie wasn't having to deal with this right now. "Mary you did the right thing here. I have no idea what your mother was thinking doing this. You did what was necessary to protect Charlie and I'm happy you did. I should have paid more attention to what was going on, but just left your mother to handle it."

"Mr. Miller I need to speak with you before the police arrive," he said and the two men stepped out of the room leaving Charlie alone with the girls.

Thirty minutes later a Police Detective arrived and took statements from the Doctor, Mr. Miller and Mary and confiscated the empty and three full IV bags as evidence. "Mr. Miller, I'm sorry to tell you we will have to arrest your wife. At the very least she'll be charged with Child Endangerment if not Child Abuse, and if what I suspect is true, also with theft of prescription drugs from the hospital, and probably the associated equipment, since she has ready access to catheters and related equipment at the hospital. I don't have anything to do with licensing, but I have no doubt the Medical Board will be contacting you with their own investigation; all my reports will of course be available to them. Here is my business card should you have any questions or need to contact me."

"I understand Detective, I just can't wrap my mind around why she would do this to our son, it makes no sense at all."

"Doctor Stanforth will remove the catheter from the boy and he'll need to continue with his previous course of treatment, I'm afraid, the court will not allow your wife to have any contact with him until her case is resolved. Do you have sufficient resources to see to his care in her absence?"

"Other than the two treatments in question, my wife wasn't doing it anyway. My daughter and a hired babysitter were taking care of him and doing an excellent job. Unless there's a problem with that, I'll have them continue taking care of him, they know what to do and he was making good progress in his treatments, and one of them is always here to see to his needs."

"Dr. Stanforth is that acceptable?" the Detective asked.

"Certainly, he was responding well to the normal treatments, I have no idea why Mrs. Miller decided to do this. This particular treatment is considered a 'Last Resort' only for the most severe cases and only done in a hospital. The boy didn't need that severe a treatment, he would have been fine by the end of next week at most. We caught the infection early, thanks to the babysitter, and got right after it; it wasn't that severe; just more an annoyance due to needing diapers for a few weeks."

"OK then, I'll leave you folks to take care of the boy and go over to the hospital. If these drugs are on their inventory, your wife won't be coming home this evening. I'd suggest you might want to contact a lawyer; I believe she will be needing one shortly."

"Thank you Detective, you have both my home and work numbers should you need anything from me, I'm sorry all this happened I just don't understand it at all. You folks have more important things to be doing than a mother mistreating her son like this."

"Actually sir, as far as I'm concerned this is the most important type of case I could work. We have to protect our children, they're our future, and if we don't protect them who will? I just hope your son won't have any permanent injury from this. Not all my cases end up so well for the children."

"I understand and fully agree when you put it that way Detective. I was thinking of murders, rapes, robberies, those types of cases. But you're absolutely correct cases involving children are more important. I hope we never need your services again..."

"As do I Mr. Miller, you have two fine children from what I've seen. Take good care of them." He said as he left the house.

"I will Sir, and thanks again for your help," he called after the man.

Back in the bedroom the Doctor was getting ready to remove the catheter from Charlie as Mary sat behind her brother holding him protectively. "You did the right thing today Mary," he softly told her, "I know you're scared right now about what's going to happen but everything will work out fine. Just keep taking good care of your little brother here and everything will be fine. I'm going to take the catheter out of him and he may dribble a little, so I'll put a towel here to catch it; then he's going to need a diaper back on. This won't hurt him at all; it wouldn't even hurt if he were awake; but he'll sleep right through this." Mary just nodded her head, and Kathy moved closer to watch what the doctor was doing. Both girl's eyes got big when he reached in his bag and pulled out a big syringe.

He chuckled at their reaction, "No I'm not using this on Charlie, this Catheter has a collar, like a donut around the tube, inside him that has saline solution in it to inflate it and keep the catheter from coming out. This extra tube here on the side of the catheter is where it was put in to inflate it, so I'm going to draw the fluid back out to deflate it so I can remove the catheter," he explained as he inserted the syringe into the port and then drew fluid back out into it. Once that was done, he gently picked up the boy's penis and held it in one hand and withdrew the tube from him. Then wiped him where a few drops came out with the device. "There all done," he said smiling at the girls.

Kathy was standing there with a diaper in her hand as she watched and quickly had it on Charlie while the doctor watched. "You must be Kathy the babysitter," he said to the girl.

"Yes sir," she meekly replied.

"Well Kathy you did a really good job in noticing Charlie was sick and getting his mother to have him checked by me so we caught this infection really early." He said smiling, and patting her shoulder, "Both of you girls have done a really good job taking care of him." He continued putting a hand on Mary's shoulder also; "The police didn't need to know just how young you girls are, that's why I and his father kept referring to you Mary as his sister and you Kathy just as the 'paid babysitter'. I warned him to do that. For all they know the 'babysitter' could be anyone, but they'll assume it's an adult. You're doing so well with him though that I decided you should keep taking care of him. Otherwise, they would have insisted on a homecare nurse or something. So if anyone asks, who's taking care of him, just use the same words I did. 'His sister and a paid babysitter' ok?" he softly said to them.

"Thank you Doctor," Mary said "We'll take really good care of him, we want him to get well and we both love him. Why would Mom do that to him? He was in so much pain?"

<sigh> "I have no idea Mary, I really don't. Maybe she'll have some explanation, but there certainly was no medical reason to do that. Now she's in serious legal trouble over it, but I want you to clearly understand that you did the right thing in calling me. I don't know how Charlie was able to stand that kind of pain the first time and not pass out like he did this morning. We usually put a patient to sleep when we use that technique, or have them so heavily sedated that they don't feel anything. But the thing is he didn't need it at all, and then to make it worse, she either stole the drugs and equipment or bought them illegally; and then didn't do it correctly by not giving him anything to block the pain. She'll have to explain her actions; I certainly can't; but that's not your problem. Your job ladies is to take care of Charlie and get him well."

"We will Doctor, is it all right to call you if we think there's a problem or we have questions?" Kathy asked.

"Absolutely! Here's my card with all my contact telephone numbers: office, home, cell phone and a service I use to take messages. Call the office number first and I'll tell my receptionist to make you a priority above anything I'm doing except if I'm in surgery. Evenings and weekends try my home first and then my cell phone. I'll call you back as quickly as possible. We need to take care of this little guy and get him well again."

When the Doctor left her father came in and sat with them. "Girls you've been wonderful with Charlie and I want you to keep taking care of him. I called a locksmith and he'll be here in a little while to change the locks on the house. Mary give Kathy a key when he's done, but keep the doors locked all the time. Under NO Circumstances are you to let your mother in this house unless I'm here. I don't want her anywhere near Charlie right now. She'll probably be in jail tonight and appear before a Judge in the morning, so I doubt she'll be free on bail to cause problems until tomorrow at the earliest. But I've already called a lawyer and he's having a restraining order made; stopping her from being here or anywhere around Charlie or you girls, until all this is resolved. If she shows up and I'm not here, call me immediately and tell her to leave, if she doesn't then call the Police."

"I understand Dad, I just don't understand why she'd do this." Mary replied with tears in her eyes.

"I don't either honey, I can't explain it. I need to go back to the office and take care of some things and make some more calls to get some legal things started. You girls stay here and take care of Charlie and don't let anyone in the house unless I'm here, except that locksmith I called to change the locks. I'll be home as soon as I can. Are you two going to be OK?"

"We'll be fine Dad, go do what you need to do; we'll take good care of Charlie." Mary responded.

"You can count on us Mr. Miller, we'll take care of him," Kathy replied in a determined voice.

"OK then, I'll be leaving him with you then and I'll be home as early as I can," Then got up and kissed his daughter's forehead where she sat behind her brother, holding him to her chest and then gave Kathy a hug before leaving them.

Kathy followed him downstairs and locked the doors as he left. Then came back up and climbed on the bed beside Mary and wrapped an arm around the bigger girls shoulders. "It'll be ok Mary, we'll take care of him together and Charlie will be fine, he's a lot tougher than he looks you know."

"I know Kathy," she said tears streaming down her face, "I couldn't believe how he stood that pain last night, it was horrible and I couldn't do anything to make it better. Then this morning, his whole body was so strained and he was screaming so loud before he passed out. I had to stop it Kathy I just had to!"

"Mary you didn't sleep last night did you?" she softly asked.

"No not much, I spent all night holding him, he was moaning and thrashing about, I could tell he was dreaming or remembering that treatment; he kept pleading for it to stop."

"Mary, why don't you let me hold him for awhile, and you lay down her beside us and try and sleep some, you're exhausted and all this stress and everything. I'll take good care of him and you'll be right here beside us. I won't let anything happen to either of you."

"OK but hold him tight, he really needs that right now, every once in a while he's fighting me, and I know it's the pain he's dreaming of."

"I will, now move him over to me and you slide down beside us and try and sleep, you're really tired and need to do that. You can't help him if you make yourself sick trying to do everything. Trust me and let me help you Mary."

"OK but wake me if he wakes up or starts having a bad time again, I need to be there for him when he wakes up."

"I will, I promise, now move him over here and you get some rest. You're exhausted, you need to sleep." She replied helping move the boy onto her lap and laying his head against her shoulder and smiled when he curled into her body, his breath blowing across her neck each time he exhaled. While his sister slipped down onto the bed on her side and her hand gently remained in contact with her brother's leg as she closed her eyes and was quickly asleep.

Looking down at the small boy laying on her, she smiled as she gently traced her fingers along his cheek and brushed his hair back, then gently rubbed his chest and arm. <God what a beautiful boy, he's almost to pretty to be a boy> she thought to herself as she continued to gently caress his body holding her friend as he slept peacefully.

Sometime later, an hour at least, she heard the doorbell ring and gently laid Charlie down beside his sister, who immediately pulled him to herself, even though asleep, and went to answer the door. It was the locksmith Mr. Miller had told them was coming. "I'm here to change the locks," the man simply said and set his toolbox down and pulled out a screwdriver and immediately started taking the lock assembly off of the front door. "Mr. Miller called and said this was an emergency and paid for it with his credit card, how many doors are there?"

"Three, front, back and one on the side of the house," she replied as she watched him quickly pull the whole lock assembly out of the door.

"OK this should only take a few minutes if the other ones are like this one. Actually it's not a very good lock, cheap foreign job they probably got at a discount store. The one's I'm putting on are high quality high security locks; much better for protecting a nice house like this one."

Five minutes later, he was testing the newly installed lock and then she led him through the house and showed him the other two doors. When he saw the side door he shook his head. "This one is useless! Look at this, another cheap lock right beside a glass pane in the door. Break that glass and just reach in and open the door. This one needs a 'double core' lock, so you'd have to have a key to unlock it from either side."

"Yeah I see what you mean, anyone could have gotten in here, by just breaking the glass and reaching right in; I never really thought about locks before." She replied.

"Most people don't Miss, then they get all surprised when their house is broken into and their stuff stolen; THEN they start getting concerning about the locks on their doors. A cheap setup like this is so bad, you might as well not even bothering locking the door at all. Then at least you wouldn't have to replace the broken glass in addition to whatever they steal. It wouldn't even slow down an amateur thief let alone a pro." He said as he quickly installed a lock with keyholes on both sides of the door, then tested it. "OK one more and I'm done here."

After the last lock was changed, he handed her a clipboard. "I'll need a signature there at the bottom, you're just verifying that I was here and changed the locks, nothing more than that."

"I'm just the babysitter," she replied.

"That doesn't matter, the jobs already been paid for you're just telling my boss with your signature that I actually came here and did the work."

"Oh... OK then, what about the keys?" she asked as she quickly scribbled her name on the form.

"Right here, 6 of them, two come with each lockset, but they're all the same, any will work on any door, I set up all the cores to be the same before I left the shop."

"OK thanks sir; that was really fast; I know Mr. Miller will appreciate such fast service."

"That's what we're here for young lady, tell Mr. Miller to call us if there's any problem with the locks, we guarantee our work for five years. I tested them all so there shouldn't be any, but it there is tell him to call and we'll be right out to fix it at no charge."

"OK, I'll make sure he knows that and thanks again for coming so quick, I know he just called you a couple of hours ago. Bye!" she said as she locked the door as he left. Then went back and pulled Charlie back onto her lap and cuddled him; neither of them had woken while she was gone.

Kathy spent the next hour holding Charlie and occasionally reaching over and patting Mary who was apparently have dreams about Charlie's treatment, and kept mumbling in her sleep, 'please make it stop your hurting him!" When Charlie started stirring some, and she was sure he was waking up, she reached down and shook Mary's shoulder. "Mary I think he's waking up, you told me to wake you," she said as Mary rubbed her eyes.

"Thanks Kathy, I need to be right here when he wakes he'll be all confused..."

Charlie was squirming a little, so she decided to go ahead and wake him, and traced her finger along his lips, then tweaked his nose. "Charlie honey, time to wake up," she said in his ear, then gently kissing his cheek. "Come on Charlie, it's Kathy and you need to wake up." Slowly his eyes opened and focused on her as their noses touched and a big smile formed on his face. "Hi guy" she whispered and lightly kissed his smiling lips, "You awake now?"

"Yeah, where's Mary?"

"Right here Charlie," he heard from behind his head and tried to turn to see her. Kathy moved him so he was now leaning against both girls shoulders, both of them holding on to him.

"Hi Sis," he smiled weakly "What happened? I remember being in so much pain, and... and then nothing... I must have passed out... I guess..."

"You did Charlie, but it's over now and you won't ever have to go through that again. Mom's in really big trouble for having done that to you. I called Dad and the Doctor after she left, and you were still passed out, I was really worried about you; and they both came here and checked you. The Doctor was really mad that Mom did that to you; he said you didn't need it and that she didn't do it right, because she didn't do anything to block the pain. Apparently she may have stolen the drugs and stuff too. He called the police and she's going to be arrested for doing that to you. Daddy's really upset with Mom over this and has a lawyer getting the court to make her stay away from us, especially you. But you don't need to worry about any of it. The Doctor took that catheter thing out of you and said you'd be well in about a week if we keep doing the things we were doing before. So Kathy and I will be taking care of you again and nobody else, unless something happens, then the Doctor will come see you."

Charlie was watching his sister as she talked and when she stopped, he turned over and straddled her body as she sat there leaning against the headboard of his bed. "Mary you've been crying, your eyes are all red and puffy and you look really tired. You've been up all night with me haven't you, I remember you holding me all night," he said cradling her head in his hands. Mary I'm ok now, you saved me and protected me and I love you so much for doing that. But you need to get some rest, I can't get better if I'm worrying about my sister," he said, then leaned forward and kissed her several times and hugged her. "Thanks for looking out for me Mary, I owe you big time, anything you ever need, just tell me and if I can get it or do it I will. I love my big sister so much." He said with tears in his eyes, then kissed her again. "Go back to sleep Mary, I heard Kathy wake you when I was waking up. You need to get some rest, Kathy can take care of me for now, but I need my sister to be well too!"

"I will Charlie I just needed to be here for you when you woke up so I could tell you what happened, I just couldn't let you wake up confused and not being here to tell you myself. Now if you don't mind, I'll just slide back down here and go back to sleep, I'm really tired..."

"Thanks Sis, I love you..." he whispered and gave her another kiss, before crawling off of her and then sat back against Kathy and curled up in her arms. "This is really nice being in bed with the two most wonderful girls in the world; to bad I can't do this all the time." He softly said as he watched his sister quickly drop back off to sleep. "Mary's really wiped out," he whispered to the girl holding him, "we should let her sleep and I don't know about you but I'm kind of hungry. Let's go get something to eat."

"OK Charlie, we'll do that, now get up so I can ease off the bed without waking her," she whispered back and helped him move to the edge of the bed, then got up herself and they walked to the kitchen together holding hands. When they got there, she stopped and turned to him. "My turn to cook, what would you like?"

"Not a lot of anything, maybe some scrambled eggs and toast, but just two eggs. I'm kind of queasy if you know what I mean."

"Ok sit down and I fix it for you in a jiffy." She replied and guided him to a chair.

A little while later she put a plate in front of him and then sat down beside him, her hand on his back. "Aren't you going to eat anything Kathy?"

"No I'm not hungry right now, all that stuff this morning with the Doctor and Policeman kind of upset my stomach, I'll get something later."

"Do I need to take any pills right now, I slept in, it's late morning now?"

"No not until two o'clock, the doctor gave you a shot in your butt, two actually one was to make you sleep and the other was for the infection."

"No wonder I've got a sore spot back there then."

"Charlie would you mind if I held you while you eat? All this stuff today really scared me and I just feel the need to hold you and not let you go; Mary feels the same way, I know she does."

"Kathy I love it when you hold me, you can do that whenever you want, here let me slide my plate over there and I'll sit on your lap while I eat." He replied and stood then moved his plate and settled on her lap his back against her chest and her arms around his middle. "Mmmm a human chair, this is really nice," he said with a giggle and leaned his head back rubbing his hair against her cheek. Kathy why did you feel you need to ask to do this?"

"Because I know how sensitive you are about being treated like a little kid Charlie. I don't ever want you to feel bad about anything we do together. And well, this is kind of 'babying' you and I didn't want to do that unless you were ok with it."

Turning sideways he looked up at her smiling before saying anything. "Kathy you ARE my 'Babysitter' so you can 'Baby' me all you want. Besides I really like you and it makes you happy to do that; and when you're happy; that makes me happy. So from now on you don't need to ask as long as we are alone or just us and Mary. I don't think I'd want other kids to see us do that." He said kissing her cheek. "Besides, you're really good at it and it makes me feel good when you do it."

"Thanks Charlie, I do love holding you, I can't seem to get enough of it."

"Well that works out well then doesn't it? You like doing it and I like you doing it so since both of us like it; just do it!" he replied turning back around to finish eating.

"Deal!" she whispered in his ear, then gently kissed the back of his neck several times getting him to giggle and squirm a little.

When he finished he jumped off her lap and put his dishes in the sink, then went back over and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she sat on the chair. "Thanks Kathy that really hit the spot. I need to go check on my sister, I'm really worried about her; all this had to have been really hard on her."

"It was Charlie, she was really upset when I got here this morning, she looked exhausted and really scared for you; let's go check her, but I'm sure she sleeping now that she knows you're ok."

Back up in his room, he sat on the edge of his bed beside his sleeping sister and gently reached out and lightly stroked her face, as Kathy slid in behind him and lightly held him. "She so pretty," he whispered, "she always has been, she was really cute when she was little. I just can't get over how much she's grown in the last year. I love her so much it hurts at times, but she's always there when I need her..." then traced his hand down her side and rested it on her hip before finally removing it and then just sat watching her sleep. "I need to tell her that more often, she's really good to me."

"She loves you like that too Charlie, she really does, she told me she wouldn't trade her brother for anyone. We all need to tell people we love them more often Charlie, especially members of our family, we tend to take them for granted at times, but everyone needs to hear that every now and then, I know I do. I've got great parents and a fantastic but shy sister, and I know I don't tell her often enough."

"Kathy it's almost noon. When do you have to leave?"

"I'm not leaving until either Mary wakes up or your Dad comes home; I'm not leaving you alone right now."

"We should just let her sleep then; she really needs it...."

"OK lets go downstairs then and let her sleep, you've seen she's ok and safe, so let's leave her be for awhile and let her rest."

"OK..." he replied and got up, but leaned over and kissed his sister; "Love you sis," he whispered to her before standing back up and walking towards the door.

They sat together in the living room cuddling, not really talking just enjoying holding each other when Mary came down about 1:00 still rubbing sleep from her eyes. "Mary!" he cried out and got up and ran to her and wrapped his arms around her in a hug. Mary lifted him and he immediately wrapped his arms around her neck and his legs around her waist and began kissing her all over the face while he giggled.

"Hi Charlie," she said smiling, "I'm happy to see you too," she said returning one of his kisses and patting his behind while holding him like a toddler.

"Are you ok now Mary? Did you get enough rest? You looked so tired and worn out earlier..."

"I'm fine Charlie, just a little hungry..."

"Well let's get you something then!" he said trying to get down but she was holding him tightly to her."

"In a few minutes, I want to hold my brother for awhile if that's ok with you."

"Anytime you want Mary and I really mean that. I love you so much..."

"I love you too Charlie and I love holding you, it makes me feel really good to know you're safe in my arms."

Pulling his head back to look directly into her eyes his voice got serious, "Mary you can do whatever you want to with me, whenever you want and I'll never object." <giggle> "But I'd really like it if you didn't spank me too often, anything else is fine with me!"

<giggle> "Thanks Charlie, I'll remember not to spank you TOO often, just when you really need it! Now let go to the kitchen I'm hungry," she replied but didn't set him down, instead she carried him in there and continued holding him while making a sandwich one handed and then sat with him still wrapped around her while she ate it.

"Mary, the locksmith was here while you were sleeping and the keys are there on the table along with the paperwork. He changed all three doors, but that side door now has a double-sided lock. You'll have to use a key to unlock it from either side."

"Did you take one of the keys? You'll need one and Dad said to give you one." She asked.

"Not yet."

"Well take one, so you can get in tomorrow, because the doors will all be locked like Dad said. If Charlie's still doing good tomorrow morning, I'd like to get back to my swimming lessons. I missed today because of all this crap, but I want to go back to them if I can."

"OK," she replied removing one from the key ring, then walking over and putting a hand on each of them. "Are you two going to be ok? If so I'll head home."

"We'll be fine." They both said in unison which just caused them both to start laughing that they'd said exactly the same thing at the same time.

"OK I'll see you in the morning then," Kathy said smiling at them and giving each a quick kiss on the cheek. "Bye – call me if you need me!" and let herself of out the door.

When she finished her sandwich the two of them sat holding each other until late afternoon when the doorbell rang. It was their father, he looked really tired and worn as he came in but managed to give the kids a smile. "How are you two doing?" he gently asked.

"We're ok Dad," Charlie answered for both of them, "How are you holding up?"

"I've been better Charlie, this has been one hell of a day," he replied with a sigh. "We better sit down so I can tell you what all's going on. Your mother managed to get herself in really big trouble with all this."

All of them moved to the living room and sat down, the two kids automatically holding each other as they sat side by side on the couch.

"OK I might as well just get to it," their father started, "Your Mother did steal those drugs and equipment from the hospital and they have a 'Zero Tolerance' Policy on drug theft so she's being charged with three counts of prescription drug theft as well as theft of the equipment. The Police are charging her with Criminal Child Endangerment and still haven't decided whether to tack on Felony Child Abuse or Felony Assault Charges. The Detective said they may use those as bargaining tools to get her to plead guilty to the other charges and avoid a trial. Either way, she's in big trouble and looking at time in prison. Theft of drugs by medical personnel carries extra penalties since they have ready access to them that other people don't have; so at the minimum she'll be in jail several years. She'll also lose her license as a nurse and will never be able to get one again. <big sigh> Kids, I don't know why she did all this and to be honest I really don't care how she justified it in her mind. But I will not allow something like this to ever happen to either of you again. So I filed the paperwork to divorce her today and have already obtained court rulings to keep her away from both of you. After reviewing the case file from the police the Judge took one look at the Doctor's statement as to what she did to Charlie and granted me sole custody of you kids. Your mother has no legal authority over either of you now and my lawyer will get that made permanent either at the criminal hearing or the divorce hearing whichever comes first. So in short, although she's your biological mother; she has no rights over either of you anymore."

"So we don't have to listen to what she tells us now?" Charlie asked.

"Charlie she's not even allowed to be within 50 yards of you, let alone try to talk to you or tell you anything. She can't even call you on the telephone. The courts take a hard line on child abuse and that's exactly what she did to you. I'll never forgive her for that!"

"Ok Dad I understand," Charlie answered and his sister nodded.

"Now all this is going to be expensive and I really don't know what it's going to cost in the end, but we need to start cutting back on expenses immediately. Mary your swimming lessons are already paid for because we paid two month membership dues up front in cash and I don't want to disrupt either of your lives anymore than absolutely necessary."

"Daddy?" she said interrupting him. "Daddy, I don't need my allowance I have enough saved up that I won't need money for anything until next spring sometime. And I don't want paid for taking care of Charlie either." Mary firmly told him.

"Dad, I don't need any either, but then right now I wasn't getting any allowance anyway. Mom was splitting it between Mary and Kathy." Charlie added; "So if Mary doesn't need half my allowance, you could use all of mine to pay Kathy for babysitting me."

"How much was you mother going to pay her?"

"$100 per week, or $20 per day, but Kathy said she didn't need to be paid at all; but I think she should get something," Charlie answered, "She 's giving up her time to come take care of me and she does a really good job. Maybe she'd accept my allowance as her pay, that's only half of what mom wanted to pay her but I think she'd agree to it."

"Just a minute Dad let me call her and find out." Mary said and left the room before he could say anything.

A few minutes later, she returned with the answer. "She's fine with $50 per week dad, she still says she'd do it for free because she likes Charlie and wants to help him; but I insisted she accept at least that much and she agreed."

"OK then. I'm going to turn that lease car back in and get a used one to drive back and forth to work, and we'll probably be eating a lot of hamburger and chicken instead of steak for awhile, but I don't want you kids worrying about finances; that's my job. I really appreciate you stepping forward to help out, but I just don't know what all this is going to cost us; so I'm getting ready for the worst I can think of. Kids both of you come here a minute," he said and held his arms out.

Grapping each in a one arm hug, he pulled both of them to him and hugged them, "I'm so sorry all this happened, I want both of you to know I love you so much. I know you two are close and you need to be really good to each other and we'll all get through this together. This shouldn't have ever happened but it did and I'm going to do my best to get us through it and take care of you two, so we can be happy as a family," he told them with tears streaming down his cheeks. I'm going to have to work some longer hours to cover expenses and that means you will be alone more than before. I'll have to trust you to be good and look after each other when I can't be here. Just know that I love you more than anything and I want the best for both of you." He was quickly smothered in hugs and kisses from both kids and all of them held on tightly for awhile.

"We will Dad, we'll all take care of each other," Charlie firmly told his father and hugged him again.

"Thanks kids I knew I could count on you to help out, you're both such good children and have always cared about each other. Now let's go out to the kitchen and see what we can find for dinner." He finished releasing them and getting up from the chair.

They fixed a simple meal of spaghetti and salad and were eating together talking about other costs they could cut until they knew how badly the legal stuff was going to hurt them financially. "Daddy not to change the subject, but I need to sleep with Charlie for awhile. I think we both need to hold each other a lot right now and it will be easier to take care of him, while he's sick if I'm right there with him and know immediately if he needs something. I think he's going to have bad dreams about those treatments, he did earlier today, and I know I did too. I really need to be there for him and him for me."

"Are you OK with that Charlie?" his dad asked.

"Yeah Dad I am. All this is kind of scary for both of us and we spent most of the day just holding each other and talking. I'd feel better knowing Mary was right there with me at night, if it's ok with you."

"Kids you have my permission to do whatever you need to, to take care of each other. If sleeping together in the same bed helps either or both of you, then do what you need to do to take good care of each other. I totally trust both of you and I know nothing bad will happen."

"Thanks Daddy that makes me feel better already," Mary answered.

"Me too," Charlie added.

When they finished dinner, he turned to his daughter, "How's Charlie's diaper supply? He's going to need them for awhile yet."

"We're getting low Dad, especially on the regular weight daytime diapers," Mary replied, "Maybe we should use cloth diapers instead of the disposable one's, it would be cheaper to wash diapers than just throw away those expensive disposables, Mom got. I know they cost more to begin with, but one washing and they'd save money when they get used the second time and more with each use. They only cost a little more than the disposables to begin with."

"OK I guess I'm making a trip down to WalMart then, do you need anything else?"

"Well if we use cloth ones, we'll need diaper pins and a couple pair of plastic pants too, mostly for at night to make sure he doesn't leak, if he really soaks them. I'll measure his waist so you can get the right size pants, they go by waist size and body weight. But we'll need a lot of the cloth diapers, he needs changed about every two hours during the day and I'll try and save the double and triple weight disposables we have left by only using them at night."

"Ok think about it then give me a list of what you need and I'll get them this evening."

Later he returned with six large bags full of diapers and two pair of plastic pants, one while pair and one pink with little animals on it. "Sorry about the pink one's Charlie but these two pair were the only ones in your size."

"It's ok Dad, wearing diapers with pink plastic pants can't be any more embarrassing that having to wear diapers at all. No one but Mary, Kathy and you will see them so, who cares, I don't."

The two kids spent most of the evening folding his new diapers and putting them away ready for use. Their father spent most of that time in his home office working on his computer trying to figure out ways to cut costs and maximize income until he knew where his family was going to end up financially. The only good news was this new house was purchased based upon his income only, not the combined income of he and his wife. It was the legal expenses that had him worried.

At 10:00 a very tired Mary went down to talk to her father before going to bed. "Hi Dad, how're you holding up, I know this has to be really hard for you."

"I'm ok Honey, I just can't understand why your mother did any of this. It just doesn't make any sense at all."

"I don't know Dad, but I do know she started treating Charlie much harder about a year ago, and it has only gotten worse in the last few months. I started noticing it about the time that Charlie and me were the same height; then when I got taller, it increased. She was always putting me in charge of him and treating him like a little kid. Every time I'd object to being in charge of him, she'd get mad at me and would go on and on about how I was more responsible and to shut up and take care of my little brother like I was older than him. If Charlie objected he got punished and then I'd just be put in charge of him even more. She's been treating him younger and younger and me older and older and wouldn't even listen to anyone about it. In the last couple of weeks, especially since we moved she was always threatening to punish him even though he never did anything wrong. Last night and this morning she refused to see how bad he was hurting from what she was doing. She just kept saying that he and I were exaggerating things and refused to hear that she might be wrong. How could she just stand there with him screaming in pain his whole body being racked by it and ignore what she was causing? It was like she hated Charlie and was doing it to punish him for something."

"Well it's over now Mary, I'll never trust her around you kids ever again; I can't. The doctor told me she could have done permanent damage to Charlie with those treatments; that's why they're used as a last resort when everything else has failed. I really hope she didn't damage him, but we won't know until the infection is gone. He may have bladder control problems after that if she did; but there's no way to know as long as the infections still in there. We'll just have to wait and see; God I hope he'll be ok."

"But what does that mean Daddy? What could happen?"

"Worse case? Charlie will be wearing diapers for the rest of his life. I pray that won't happen. But it could be anything less than that, like only at night or just having accidents occasionally but not constant, or no damage at all which is what we want."

"Oh Charlie..." she whimpered.

"Don't tell him Mary, I don't want him worrying about the outcome. He needs to believe he'll get totally well and his attitude may make that happen. If he doesn't and is damaged, then we'll deal with what he ends up with, and make the best of it once we know for sure."

"Come here honey," he said and pulled her into a hug on his lap, "We have to be really strong for Charlie and he as to believe he'll get well. If he doesn't believe it, he won't; that's why he can't know. I know you love him and want him to get well, so you need to help him believe he'll get well. Don't ever let him think he might NOT get well, especially until we know the final results; and even then, it might change if he believes he can get better. We have to be positive, never negative with him. Can you do that for him?"

" I can do it Dad if that's what it takes, he gets so depressed about the diapers sometimes, but so far he believes it will be over soon; I just hope it is because it will devastate him if he doesn't ever get better. He was just to the point where he knew when he needed to go again and was able to hold it for a while; if she damaged him so he can't anymore, I'll find her and kill her, I swear I will."

"No you won't baby, you'll help your brother deal with it and live the best he can. You'll leave your mother to me to deal with. If she did damage him, I'll make her pay for it, I swear, I'll make her pay the rest of her life. When I'm done with her, she'll never have two coins to rub together ever. Because every extra cent she ever gets, will go to Charlie. There are worse things than death Mary and I know just how to make that happen and I WILL do it."

"Thanks Daddy, I know you're right, I couldn't really kill her, but I'd sure beat on her some. But I'll leave her up to you."

"It's getting late Mary and Charlie's probably wondering what happened to you. He still needs a bath before bedtime, why don't you go up and help him. I'm sure he'd like you to do that, he loves you dearly and right now he needs you. You two kids are very lucky to be so close. I wasn't half that close with my brothers and sisters; I wish now I had been. You two are very special to each other, don't do anything to damage that."

"Don't worry Daddy I'd never do anything to Charlie to ruin how we feel about each other. Hurting him hurts me even more; so I'd never do that. I'll go take care of him and get him ready for bed. I love you Daddy, don't worry about Charlie and Me we'll get by just fine, no matter what happens."

Upstairs she found her brother sitting on his bed half asleep. "Come on Charlie she said shaking him gently, I need to give you a bath, and get you ready for bed, then I plan on holding you all night so that neither of us have bad dreams."

"Are you going to take a bath with me? I'd really like that right now..."

"You bet Charlie, I want that too, so let's go get naked together, I need a little fun right now and I want those wonderful little fingers of yours in me." She replied grinning at him mischievously.

"Your fingers are pretty wonderful too you know," he grinned back as he jumped up from the bed suddenly VERY awake.

In the Spa bathtub, Charlie started working on his sister as soon as they were in the water and quickly had her squirming and gave her two orgasms; then she reached out hand held his cock and was stroking it but not getting any response. "Charlie, what's wrong? Why aren't you getting hard for me?"

"I don't know," he replied, "Mary I can just barely feel your hand on me... normally I'd have been stiff down there almost as soon as you touched me... this is really scary Sis; I don't like this at all..."

"Don't worry Charlie, It probably has to do with those shots the doctor gave you. He said the one was a powerful muscle relaxant and sedative to make you sleep and relax you. Your muscles were all really tight and strained; maybe that part is still working in your body."

"Maybe she hurt me worse than we knew? God I hope not. Not being able to feel down there would be worse than if she killed me..."

"Charlie look at me! Don't think like that! We don't know what she did other than cause you a lot of pain. The Doctor thinks you'll be fine as soon as the infection is dealt with. I do too! I'm sure this is those drugs he gave you and nothing more. We need to wait until those are out of your system, and not be worrying about things that may not be a real problem. We'll try again tomorrow and see what you're like then and if you still have a problem I'll call the doctor and have him check you. But I don't want you worrying about this right now. I'm sure it's the shots he gave you."
