SOM - Bumps in the night!
After Eidel Weiss Georg needs to bury the feelings that are emerging for Maria so he turns to Elsa for a night of passion. What will Maria do when Gretl hears a bump in the night and asks her to discover what's really going on?
Not quite sure where this is heading it just popped into my head! I mean think about it, Elsa and Georg may have been intimate together so let's twist everything a little and see what happens! :D
Part 1
Just as the last of the children filed out of the room Gretl shouted "It will be my first party father!" before running after her siblings and governess.
Georg chuckled and looked up at the Baroness who was smiling sweetly down at him.
Max watched and took a swig of his white wine "Indeed it does sound like a splendid idea! More food, more wine! Oh yes very splendid" he said as the other two ogled each other. He would have smiled, would have taken comfort in this scene if it weren't all a lie. Max knew he was not the brightest of people and was indeed a sponge that lived his life on the backs of other people but this did not mean he was all dumb. The way Elsa and Georg looked at each other was not the look Georg and Maria often accidently shared, no that was love, but this, now as he sat across from them, this look was of complete lust and it did not at all settle right in his stomach.
He swallowed the wine that was becoming bitter in his mouth and shifted slightly in his seat. His eyes had seen many a things in his life, obscene and entirely crude and… intimate. But this was not what made him shift, it was the fact that he knew that Georg did not feel the emotions reflected in his eyes for Elsa, no they were entirely for Maria yet here he was projecting them onto Elsa trying so desperately hard to bury what was so obvious, even to him.
He cleared his throat uncomfortably, grabbing the couples attention slightly "Well as delightful as this has all been I believe it's time for me to make my way up the wooden hill where a delightfully comfortable bed is calling my name!" he said with his usual cheeky smile as he started to stand "So I will bid you both… a good night" he said smiling but his eyes cautious and almost accusing as he looked at Georg "Georg, Elsa" he said bowing slightly before leaving.
Georg looked down at Max's piercing gaze and he knew exactly the reason for it. Whether he denied it or spoke the truth it was there, no running away from it. He looked back at Elsa, his eyes still filled with lust even though he knew it was for Maria.
Elsa walked around seductively and sat on his lap, her hands caressing his shoulders, trying to release some of the tension in them "Finally, I thought he would never leave" she said quietly as went to kiss his lips.
Georg reciprocated with great need, his hands slipping around her slim waist and across her clad ribcage. As their tongues tangled Georg tried to force the image of Maria kissing him out of his head by drawing Elsa closer, the kiss getting more and more heated with each passing second.
Elsa drew away her complexion no longer flawless down to a fault "Let's go upstairs darling" she whispered her breath laboured and extremely uneven as Georg's skilled lips trailed down her neck.
"Mmhhmm" Georg mumbled as he lips went lower, his nimble fingers undoing the buttons on her blouse.
Elsa smiled and pulled him away gently "Come, we can resume our fun upstairs" she said taking his hand and leading him upstairs. What Elsa didn't know was that as they passed Maria's room it took all Georg's might not to let go of her hand and burst into Maria's room and show her what it was like to truly be loved.

Gretl, who had been blissfully sleeping, woke suddenly from a loud bang and a groan of sorts. She automatically curled up into a tighter ball in her sheets, her eyes peeking through the gaps to see if her sister was awake only to find Marta sound asleep. With this in mind she knew she was alone so she screwed her eyes shut and quietly started singing her favourite things the song which Fraulein Maria comforted them with so often.
She heard another throaty groan coming from somewhere and started singing faster, the fear of a monster creeping up on her scaring her so. Oh why couldn't they just leave her alone? She thought as she tried to calm herself and find sleep once more. Her brothers and sisters had told her stories of creatures and goblins that crept into children's bedrooms in the dark of the night and snatched them away; she did not wish to be that child.
But as hard as she tried, sleep would not come and a slow rhythmic banging started again followed by a few groans. Her eyes shot open with fright and tears brimmed in her eyes. Maria she needed Maria.
But it was so far away and it was dark! What if the monster jumped out and took her away, never would she see Fraulein Maria again nor her brothers and sisters and father!
There was another louder bang and little Gretl couldn't take anymore, her fear escalading too much so. Quickly she jumped out of her bed, her heart pounding and she ran as fast as she could out of her bedroom, the dim light in the landing calming her slightly as she ran towards her governess's bedroom.
O0o0o0o0o0
Maria too had heard the bangs and groans that were scaring Gretl but unlike the youngest child she knew its true origin and it made her heart beat faster, with what she didn't know. Despite her innocence and lack of knowledge on the subject it made her feel things, things a future nun was not supposed to feel. As she lay there her eyes looking up into complete darkness she hated the Baroness for some unknown reason and secretly wished and desired that it she who was in her place. She sighed in frustration and closed her eyes as she turned on her side.
She could not think such things; they were un married and committing a sin! The why did she feel as though it would be right if she and Georg committed it instead?
She bit her lip as she heard a loud bang and a sudden jolt flew through her body, obscene and forbidden images flying through her mind.
Suddenly her door flung open, the dim light from the corridor revealing a terrified Gretl. Maria sat up and smiled soothingly, almost thankful for the distraction as she patted the bed for Gretl to come and said on.
Gretl came running and quickly climbed on the bed before clinging to Maria with her small tight hands.
Maria hugged her close covering her with the quilt as they sat back against the headboard "Did you have another nightmare?" she said gently as she rubbed the girls back.
Gretl shook her head and Maria frowned pulling back and looking at the girls tear stained face "Then what's frightened you so my dear?" she said in a motherly tone.
Gretl's lips trembled as she tried to stop her sobs "There were noi… noises and b,bangs" she said before burying her small head in Maria's neck and chest "Will you see what's going on?" she said quietly.
Maria took in a slow breath realising that Gretl had also heard the Captain and Baronesses activities. "Um not tonight Gretl"
Gretl whimpered "Why not?" she sobbed
She gripped Gretl tighter and kissed the top of her head "Oh Gretl, there's nothing to be afraid of, the noises you heard were not any monsters or goons coming to get you" she said tickling the young girl making her giggle "You see grownups have this sort of song" she paused "And if they care about each other enough, like your father and the Baroness do, then late at night they sing it together. See there's nothing to be afraid of, they were just singing" she said gently hoping to somehow explain and soothe the girls fears of what she assumed Gretl must have thought must have been a monster of some sorts.
Gretl looked up "Well they aren't very good at it" she said innocently, too young to realise the hidden meaning.
Maria laughed and smiled as she stroked the girls cheek "No they aren't are they" she replied still smiling.
Gretl snuggled closer "Why can't you and father sing together instead? You would be much better at it" she said quietly and Maria blushed, her heart beating a thousand miles per hour.
Maria cleared her throat, dangerous thoughts of her and Georg together, swimming in and out of her mind, no, the Captain she reprimanded herself, just realising how easily she had slipped into calling him his first name "Me and your father couldn't sing that song together my dear" she said her voice thick as she stroked Gretl's hair.
Gretl looked up slightly "Why not?" she said taking Maria's other hand and just playing with it idly. Maria smiled as she watched her and realised with great joy and sadness how much they had become like mother and daughter, not only to Gretl but to all the children.
She sighed as she went to answer Gretl's question, her random thought cast aside "Because me and your father don't care for each other like he and the Baroness do"
Silence came followed by a quiet "Oh" Gretl said and Maria revelled in the mere soothing presence of the girl "Don't you like father?" she piped up suddenly.
Maria bit her lip hating where this conversation was going but couldn't blame her, she was only 5 "Of course I like your father" she replied back.
"Then why can't you sing with him, the Baroness makes strange noises, I don't like it" she said holding up Maria's soft slender hand and putting her small one against it.
Maria sighed "I already told you. I can't sing that particular song with him because you have to love each other very much to sing it. Otherwise if you don't love each other then their voices won't fit and it will sound like a shambles" she finished.
"Like a puzzle?" she said tiredly and Maria smiled.
"Yes, exactly like a puzzle" she replied hoping that what she had said Gretl understood. It had made sense to Maria but Gretl was only 5 she could hardly tell her the blunt truth!
Gretl yawned as she spoke "Well I don't think father and the Baroness's pieces fit" she said snuggling closer to Maria.
Maria watched as Gretl started to drift to sleep. Maria closed her eyes and held Gretl tighter for a moment. Oh how she wished their pieces wouldn't fit, but she knew they did. She shook her mind of these ridiculous thoughts, this was good, however unorthodox it was good, the children would have a new mother and Georg would be happy, that's all that mattered and so ever so carefully she slipped out of the bed. Once she was out she lifted the girl up into her arms and started to carry her back to her room. Sliding out of the door she was grateful for the silence that she came upon, she didn't think she could have handled it if they were still… well… doing that she thought.
She walked across the landing quietly when suddenly the Captains bedroom door opened revealing a handsomely dishevelled Captain in just his briefs and a rather un-composed Baroness who she assumed was probably going back to her room.
Maria stood still, her eyes wide in shock as her heart pounded against her rib cage and her cheeks no doubt becoming extremely flushed. Georg too stood still, his eyes locking onto the simple yet beautiful woman who held his youngest.
The Baroness who was unfazed spoke "Isn't it a little bit past your bed time Fraulien?" she said smirking.
Maria swallowed and looked at the Baroness "Well i… I… Gretl, she was afraid so I I comforted her" she stuttered nervously, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
Georg nodded "And um why was she afraid?" he said needing to say something, anything, it was almost an automatic reaction when in her presence, the need to be acknowledged by her eating away at him.
Maria's gaze shifted back to him and she couldn't speak. What was she supposed to say? The truth? That his youngest most innocent daughter had heard her father making passionate love with a woman whom he wasn't even married to yet? No she couldn't say that, it was rude, it wasn't her place to say! But her eyes narrowed and her anger overtook her and before she knew it the words were tumbling out of her mouth "What do you think Captain?" she snapped and Georg's eyebrows rose up along with the Baronesses who had not witnessed Maria's fury like Georg had.
The Baroness laughed in shock and anger "Excuse me?" she snapped back and Maria looked at her with equal fury.
"What do you think she woke from Baroness? She heard and woke up to you two!" she said silencing the couple for a moment before she continued "Thank god she's only a child and doesn't understand what you two were doing yet! If you two want to have a good old tumble then I suggest you do it Vienna!" she spat gripping Gretl tighter "I understand that you are both two consenting adults, but you missed out two very important facts! There are children in this house who DO understand those noises, yet here you two are flouncing around your impropriety not even married! If you were married then flounce all you like but don't start setting examples for your children when you do not wish them to follow them!" she said angrily and out of breath.
The Baroness's jaw had at least dropped 20 feet and despite Maria's anger she found it rather amusing "How dare you! You are a servant! An employee, who gave you the right to speak down at us!" the Baroness yelled.
Maria closed her eyes for a moment in frustration before she spoke "I am not a servant here baroness, I was asked here, I was asked to look after these children and that is exactly what I am doing, so do not tell me whether I can or cannot speak my mind" she said back.
Georg swallowed "That was out of line Fraulien. They are MY children NOT YOURS!" he yelled.
Maria flinched and hoped Gretl would not wake "That may be so Captain but I am their governess! Now if you will excuse me" she said continuing to walk to Gretl's room.
"You are not excused!" Georg shouted back and Maria stopped and closed her eyes for a moment. Maybe she had crossed the line. Oh you silly girl she thought, why couldn't you just keep your mouth shut!
Turning to him with great defiance she spoke "Captain if you wish continue this conversation then so be it, but at least let me put your child to bed! I would not wish her to wake up again thanks to you!" she said before turning swiftly and practically running to Gretl's room knowing she had definitely crossed the line now.
Once she was there she shut the door quickly and leant against it for a moment, trying desperately to keep her tears at bay. She walked slowly to Gretl's bed, her heart racing and aching. Oh why did she have to be so damn stubborn? She thought as a tear slipped down her cheek. She was sure to be thrown out now, thrown out and taken away from these darling children. She neared the bed and carefully placed Gretl down, gathering the thrown about covers from before and placing them gently on top of the young girl.
Gretl sighed and shifted slightly, getting comfortable. Maria sat on the edge and looked at the beautiful creation before her. Reaching out she stroked Gretl's forehead, her heart aching excruciatingly for an unknown reason. Her lips trembled and a few more tears slipped out of the edges of her eyes as she hummed Eidel Weiss and then quietly started to sing.
The door opened behind her and she automatically knew who it was but still she kept on singing not quite ready to face him, to face her punishment.
Georg watched in silence as he leant against the wall, watching the beautiful picture before him. It looked so right, like it fit. They looked like true mother and daughter, he had noticed it before with every one of his children, the way her eyes gave such love to each and everyone one of them with one sparkling look.
He listened to her voice the way the beautiful notes fell so easily from her mouth and, not all of it but, part of his anger melted away.
Just as she finished he faintly heard Gretl whisper "Have they finished singing?"
Maria smiled and chuckled lightly "Yes they've stopped my dear" she replied before kissing her on the head "Goodnight sweetheart"
"Goodnight Fraulein Maria" she whispered.
For a few minutes no one moved, the two adults just letting the sweet comfort and peace of being in the presence of a child wash over them. Maria was thankful for the peace, the silence letting her analyse a few things. She did not want to leave, though she knew she would have to eventually but could she really be a nun? Before she came here she had desperately wanted to be but now?, she was not so sure. The feelings she had felt over the past few weeks had made her realise that she had too much life and spirit within her, but could she continue life without having the presence of these children? Continue without hi… she trailed off; she could not go there, not onto that subject.
She wiped away her tears and looked at him through the dark noticing that he was now in another one of his robes.
"Singing?" he said quietly.
Maria nodded, still sitting on the edge of Gretl's small bed "Yes, I told her that the noises weren't monsters and that it was just you and the Baroness singing" she whispered and sniffed slightly "I said that very late night when two people love each other very much they share a song and they sing it together" she paused looking at his dark silhouette only just making out the features on his face "She is 5 Captain, she is too young to understand but Leisl, if the eldest children heard…" she didn't quite know how to explain but tried and continued anyway "She does understand Georg, and I know in the future you would wish her to be married before she took that step in a relationship and though you and the Baroness have both been married before it does not set a good example to Leisl or Fredrich if you and the Baroness are… are making love without being married first" she said hoping he would understand.
Georg did see her reasons and though he had to admit that in part she was right he couldn't help but hope and wish that there was more to her anger.
"You are right but whether you like it or not this is my house, my children and my rules, however good your intentions are the decisions come down to me" he said in a authoritative tone.
Maria nodded slowly "Of course Captain" she said before getting up and walking towards the door just as she was about to open the door when he grabbed her arm and looked at her.
Maria bit her lips from gapsing at the contact "Captain?"
He smiled at her sweet vulnerable voice, at times she was so strong but now, she was so innocent "What else did she say?" he said.
Maria frowned and her heart sped up "I don't understand" she said looking at him intently, her body secretly enjoying the closeness of their bodies.
Georg rolled his eyes "I know my daughter Fraulien and just like you she is far too curious, so what part of that conversation did you not tell me about?" he said his voice low, sending shivers through her body.
She swallowed. How could he know? How could he have possibly even guessed she had not said a word nor given anything away, well at least she didn't think she did "I don't know what yo…"
"Maria"
Her heart stopped and her eyes connected with his as he said her name, relishing in the way it rolled off his tongue, no Fraulien in front of it, just Maria.
Sighing she started "She…" she paused and looked away "She said that we, that you and the Baroness weren't very good at singing and that she wished you and I could sing that song together instead" she finished looked into his eyes, her cheeks getting hotter and hotter and she if she were in the light, which she thanked god she wasn't, that they would be bright red.
Georg looked at her and his groin twitched slightly at her words, oh how he wished that too, taking a breath he licked his lips "And what did you say?" he knew he was over stepping boundaries here but he couldn't help it.
Maria knew he was too and she tried to step away but he kept his hold on her "Captain please" she whispered.
"What did you say?" he persisted and Maria knew she could not escape him "I, I told her that we couldn't sing that particular song together because…" she sighed "because we didn't care for each other in that way" she said quietly.
Georg nodded
Maria blinked and looked at him her heart doing leaps and flips and anything else it could do to make it pound this hard "What? I told her the truth…"
"Did you?" he said back quickly.
Maria looked at him with shock "Of, of course I did, it was the truth!" she snapped back nervously.
"'Was'?" he replied smiling and he knew he was making her mad.
"Is! It is the truth!" she whispered furiously, what did he want from her?
"Are you sure? Because I don't believe you, why are you so mad? jealousy perhaps?" he knew it was wrong to accuse her so, but he hoped with all his heart that she was lying and hoped he meant more to her and what harm would it do to fish a little?
Maria scoffed at his words "Don't rate yourself too highly Captain! You know why I am mad! What do you want Georg? You already got you bit on the side tonight so what the hell do you want from me?" she said opening the door and walking out, this conversation no longer calm but heating up with every second.
Georg followed her across the landing to her bedroom "How dare you! You think you can walk all over your peers and they won't do a thing to stop you!" he whispered furiously
Maria spun around "Peers? You are no more my peer than I am yours! Just because you have a title you think everyone else is beneath you, you think mere postulants like me can't have a voice well wake up and smell the damn roses Georg Von Trapp!" she said her emotion taking hold of her.
"Girls like you aren't supposed to be postulants!" he yelled.
Maria wiped at a tear on her face "Oh and what are we supposed to be? What? Your concubines? Your mistresses? Tell me Captain I would very much like to know!" she yelled as she stood before him defiantly.
Georg shoved her against her door, his chest rising and falling heavily along with hers, the tension in the air almost crackling.
He slammed his hand against the door right next to her face and she flinched but kept looking into his dark eyes, she wouldn't back down, couldn't, and didn't feel like she ever could or ever would. She trusted him implicitly despite however much at times she hated him. His hand slid down the door only for it to fall on her hip where she barely kept in a whimper, her eyes screwing shut as an ache filled her body.
He stepped closer and she gasped "Captain…" her breathing uneven as her breasts crushed sweetly against his strong chest. His other hand came up and cupped her cheek and she clawed at the door "Georg please, don't, stop" she stuttered and realised the words that had slipped out could mean two very different things.
Georg smirked "Stop? Or don't stop?" He said and Maria's body tightened with what she didn't know as he stepped closer if possible, his now firm member pressing against her stomach making her gasp again.
He leant down and kissed her cheek slowly tracing down towards her lips and Maria whimpered "Stop! Oh god please stop!" she gasped out, whether she truly meant it or not Georg didn't know, but he did as complied and stepped away but his need stronger than ever.
She swallowed and tried to calm her breathing as she stared at him.
He smiled needing to say something, to show her in a way that he cared, that she was amazing and not just a mere postulant "Girls, no, women like you are supposed to be married and carrying lots of children, not because its her duty, but because she is wonderful at it and she has so much love in her heart it could go round the world not just once but many, many times" he said tenderly stepping closer again.
Maria who by now was crying held a hand to his chest but he pushed against it, once again in her personal space "Georg, please" she sobbed.
He smiled sadly and wiped her tears away with such care. How could they one minute be at each other's throats and then the next he was taking such undying care with her, Maria couldn't understand it but what she knew is that he made her feel every emotion there possibly was.
Looking into her deep sparkling eyes he spoke "Sing with me?" he whispered.
Maria shook her head though her heart screamed yes. Oh how she wanted to say yes, she felt like her body was on fire and only Georg could put it out.
"Maria…" he pleaded his heart almost sinking.
"I can't, Georg please just go back to bed, I can't, I won't" she sobbed "Just, please…" she said unable to find the words she desperately needed.
Reluctantly Georg nodded and stepped away "I'm sorry" he said quietly.
Maria shook her head "Its fine, I, we" she shook her head again "Just go back to bed Captain, everything's fine, we are fine" she smiled despite her tears.
Georg wanted to comfort her, to hold her but he could not so reluctantly he turned and left.
Maria watched him go and was thankful. Yes she felt something more for him, a lot more, whether she accepted it or not only time would tell. To be fair they had both been a little wound up, everyone's emotions a little high but she would not let this ruin everything. They would continue, she would not let this small hiccup ruin her last few months with the children and… and him, they all meant too much to her.
