Chapter one
The feeling of a cool hand on my tearstained cheek causes me to look up as I realize it's Mary Poppins and I relax."It's alright dear one,I'll get you cleaned up and you'll be right as rain Georgie"she murmurs softly rummaging through the first aid kit,to get rubbing alcohol and a band aid. I fell in the park,scraped up my knee,gave me a scare,caused me to start crying. John and Annabelle comforted me,she did too,they got me back to the house,and she took me upstairs to the bathroom,to clean me up,she had them stay out in the nursery,no reason to have them in here. She gets out the rubbing alcohol and band aid,and sets it on the counter beside me,I know what's coming,mother has done this for us before when she was alive. "This will sting a bit dear,can you be a brave boy for me"she murmurs softly looking into my blue eyes for comfirmation,"I think I can"I murmur sniffling, "good,there we go"she murmurs pouring a little of rubbing alcohol on a rag,then pressing it against my knee. I hiss,wincing at how much it stings,but then it's over,and she's putting a plaster on my knee,then she does the same with my hand,then she's done.
"There we go dear one,all done,now I think it's time for a nap little one"she murmurs softly kissing me on the forehead like mother used to do. I know she's right,I'm starting to feel really sleepy,it's midafternoon,so it's about my normal nap time. "Ok Mary Poppins"I murmur softly as I let her wipe my face with a clean wet rag,wiping off sticky tears,then letting her pick me up,like mother used to do,and I lay my head against her shoulder. She carries me to bed,pulling the covers down,then she sets me down,gets me comfortable,then tucks me in. "Is he alright Mary Poppins"he asks coming over to me,Annabelle is in the window seat reading, being quiet, "yes John dear,he's alright,he just needs to take a nap,he's tired,now I suggest you do something quiet for a little while,let him sleep"she murmurs brushing my hair out of my face,stroking my cheek,exactly like mother used to do. "Yes Mary Poppins"he murmurs squeezing my hand,then grabbing a book and sitting down on his bed. "Get some sleep dear one,I'll wake you in an hour and a half"she murmurs kissing me on the forehead,then she gets up to leave. She lets them know that she'll be downstairs if we need anything,otherwise she'll be back up in an hour and a half,to get us ready for dinner,then she leaves the room,closing the door softly behind her. Before I know it I'm falling asleep,tired from crying,I'm just happy she's here,and Aunt Jane is here,they're not mother,but they try, and it's comforting having someone to take care of things like this as it should be.
