THREE LITTLE PRINCESSES
Chapter 3: Chicky Pops
Cold weather had officially set in, with snow covering the ground in September. Today Nanna had taken the girls with her to go see some friends of hers who had children their age. Louisa stayed with Nanna while she and the other nanny knitted, rocking her baby while Elizabeth and Rebecca played with Justin and Jason who were twins.
“Nanna Jason say babies is sissy tuff,” Elizabeth said running over. Lately she had started into a tattling faze of life. Nanna smiled.
“Well we know playing babies is all right, so don’t let him upset you darling,” she said. Elizabeth nodded, and ran back to play with her sister and the boys.
“Unt daddy,” Louisa said, looking up at her Nanna. Lately Louisa had been in a daddy mood, and where ever Rick went she had to be.
“Will you go play with your sisters for a little longer?” Louisa made a sat face, and Nanna put down her knitting, and held her close.
“We will go in a little while all right?” Nanna asked as she kissed her soft cheek. Louisa took in a breath and let it out then nodded her head and went back to playing with her baby, while her sisters played hide and seek with Jason and Justin.

Having the house to himself, Rick was spending his day cleaning. They had three maids who came to clean three times a week, but on pieces of furniture like the old redwood bookshelves, and even the older books, Rick liked to clean those himself. Today he was putting conditioner on the shelves, to make sure they didn’t crack, and as he did that he had the Radio tuned to a jazz band, and was whistling with the tune, not noticing his wife had come home early. Evelyn smiled as she watched him work, and quietly snuck up on him resting her cheek against his back.
“Hey, I thought you were going to be in the meeting with the stuffy guys all day,” Rick said as he turned around.
“I did as well, but we accomplished what we had set out to do, and I decided since Nanna has the girls over at Victoria and Drakes home, we could enjoy ourselves,” she said as she took the cloth diaper he was using to clean the shelves with out of his hand. Rick’s eyebrows raised, and he almost purred as Evelyn began to unbutton his pants. He just had his pants on since it was just him, wearing nothing else, which Evelyn found irresistible. As soon as she started to rub against him, Rick moaned feeling his penis harden. Evelyn smiled and took both of his hands leading him over to the couch.
“What about the kids?” he asked as she made him sit down.
“Nanna intended to keep them out past lunch. Shhh,” she said as she had him sit down. She settled beside him, then lowered her mouth to his very sensitive flesh and began to suckling there. Rick arched his hips, groaned as she did that, loving the feel of her tongue wrapped around him, and her teeth scraping against him as she began to move her mouth along the length of him. When she pulled away, he reached for her but she smiled and moved away from him before he could reach her, removing her stockings and her underpants. Rick grinned then helped her onto his lap both moaning as they joined.

It was a few hours later when Nanna arrived with three very tired little girls. Louisa was crying for daddy, and Elizabeth and Rebecca were being grumpy. They found both parents in the study, Evie reading a book, and Rick now dressed, working at his desk on a proposal.
“Here is your daddy,” Nanna said as she took the sleepy little girl to his desk. After putting down his pen, Rick stood up, then took his princess who snuggled against him sucking on her middle finger which she bent in. Evie led the way up the stairs with Elizabeth against one hip and Rebecca against the other. In the girls room, Nappys were changed, then everyone piled in their bed. As Evie started to read Peter Rabbit, Louisa requested daddy to rock her, which he did while her sisters listened to the story. As they were falling asleep Alex stuck his head in the door and waited as his parents put them in their bed, then once they walked out he showed them the report he had written on Ramses Treasure, and the A he had gotten on it.
“I’m so proud of you for this,” Evie said as she gave him a hug. Alex grinned, always happy when his parents were proud of him. Once downstairs, all of them headed into the kitchen. Evelyn and Rick got out makings for sandwiches, since Nanna had gone to the market, and made lunch for them and for Alex. While they ate he told them about practice with Darby and a few of the other guys, and about a fight Marcus had gotten in.
“Well I didn’t do anything but watch but it was bad. I don’t think Marcus will be picking on anyone like that ever again,” Alex said. Both parents nodded their head in unison glad when Alex began to talk of other things besides fights at school.
“Dad do you think Britain will get involved with what his happening with Hitler?” Alex asked. As part of his History class, his assignments, nightly, were to read the post, and lately Hitler had been in that a great deal.
“I’m not sure son,” Rick said not comfortable with that topic. He wasn’t as young as he used to be, approaching forty, and the thought of a war, as big as everyone was predicting and the fact that he had fought in the first World War made him weary of the subject. Once Alex was excused from lunch Evelyn brought that up again.
“Evie if I didn’t have you or the kids I would go fight in a heart beat, but the fact of the matter is I do have you, and I don’t want to leave you behind,” he said to answer her question on whether or not he would fight. Once they had finished lunch they decided to go for a walk, leaving Alex to listen for his sisters.

It was when Rick was getting the girls ready for their bath, later that night, that he found Louisa with red bumps on her stomach, and upon checking Elizabeth and Rebecca he found bumps on them as well.
“Evie,” he called out as he got them in the water. They laughed and played but Louisa got fussy fairly fast.
“What is it, I was about to take Alex to Darbys for the night,” she said as she walked in.
“Um I think we have a case of the Chicken pox,” Rick said as he lifted Louisa who was now crying out of the water. Evelyn looked, and confirmed what he had said.
“I’ll stop by the Apothecary and get some baking powder and some aspirin,” she said, knowing that they would all get fevers most likely during the night.
“Will you send Nanna up too?” Rick asked as he wrapped Lousia in a towel. She settled down as he cradled her in his arms yawning.
“Evelyn says they have the chicken pox,” Nanna said as she came in, and shook her head taking over bathing the other two so that Rick could tend to Louisa who started crying for Evelyn.
“Momma,” she said squirming to be put down. Evelyn had heard her and walked in.
“I’ll take Alex,” Rick said as he handed their baby to her, kissing them both before he left.
“There there now, lets get you ready for night night time,” Evie said as she went to the dresser and got out a pretty pink nightgown. She got Louisa into her nighty then settled down in the rocking chair humming a tune to her, which got her to sleep.

It was early that morning when all three of them awoke with pretty high fevers and more bumps. Nanna got up with Rick and Evelyn to help, and by the light of day all three of the girls were asleep with daddy in their parents bed. Evelyn had called in to the museum ready to stay home for as long as she needed to, and Nanna was in the kitchen getting breakfast prepared, regular breakfast for the adults and broth for the girls as well as glasses of frozen juice which she had put in the Ice box. She explained to Evie that it would help keep their fever down, and their fluid levels up. It was movement against his chest, which woke Rick, and he found Elizabeth was the one, rubbing her face against his shirt.
“Hey angel, don’t do that,” Rick said as he pulled her closer.
“Not good,” she said and started to cry when he wouldn’t let her scratch her face. Not wanting to wake the other two, Rick got up and carried her in the bathroom, getting the paste Evie had made with the baking powder and applied that to her face blowing on it which helped the itching go away. Once she was comfortable Rickc carried her into the bedroom and settled in the Rocky chair as she called it and began to rock.
“Daddy get chicky pops?” she asked. Rick smiled and kissed the top of her head.
“Little girls and little boys get them, but once their gone, you won’t ever have them anymore,” Rick said, remembering how sick both he and Alex had gotten with them, and was hopeful that the doctor was right about him not getting them anymore.
“Hungy,” she said and then saw momma and Nanna come with breakfast. Rick saw the bowls with some sort of orange mush in it and Evie explained about the juice. Elizabeth ate some, and loved it.
“MMmm dood daddy,” she said as he gave her a spoon full. While he fed her Evelyn and Nanna roused Rebecca and Louisa and got them to eat, ready for a few days of having fussy toddlers.
~*~
The next few days were in a word hell. The girls all had high fevers and bad cases of the pox, and were in lukewarm baking powder baths for the most part. It was finally the fourth day, when their fevers broke all within different times, and they were finally able to go to sleep. By then Uncle John had come to the rescue and he and Nanna kept the girls while Mum and dad went to a hotel to spend the night. With the chicken pox now behind them, Rick and Evie were ready for the next battle, hoping it would be a minor one instead of a major upset, and life resumed at full speed ahead.
