CHARLES'S CHRISTMAS CAROL-29
Hello everyone. I just felt a need of an update today, so I'm here to give you the new chapter. In this one, Elsie and Charles will have to go through a hard time, as parents, but in the beginning of the chapter will have a little M-ness included. Hope you will like it.
November 1905
It was almost dawning when Elsie began to stir in bed, feeling the warm body of Charles's close to her...His arm was put around her waist and his head was on her shoulder, as soon as she shifted a bit, he began to woke up too...Elsie looked through the window, although there wasn't anything to seen yet at this hour...She sighed, thinking that pretty soon she will have to get up and prepare for a new day...She put a hand on her pregnant belly protectively, like she wanted to check if the baby was all right. So far her fourth pregnancy was going really well and that was mostly Charles's merit, because he was taking care of her wonderfully. She felt much better than in her previous pregnancies and she visited Dr Clarkson regularly, just to make sure that everything was under control.
Still, even with Charles and Beryl, who kept on fussing around her all the time and even with the kids, who were informed about the fact that in few months they will welcome a new brother or sister in the cottage and they tried to behave as best as they could, Elsie had a lot of things to do everyday and she and Charles rarely had even few moments to be with each other...She looked at her sleeping husband and treated him with the gentle kiss on his forehead, touching his back and making a soothing motions along his spine...As soon as she did that, he began to stir too and he slowly opened his eyes, smiling, as soon as he saw the beautiful face of his loving wife...He lifted himself up and without a word, he placed a kiss on her lips.
At first, Elsie thought that it would just be their usual, short good morning kiss, but Charles's lips never left hers for a longer while...He started nibbling her bottom lip and he inserted his tongue inside her mouth...She responded eagerly for his actions, but soon her mind drifted off to the duties that was ahead of her...
"Charles...I need to get up..To make breakfast for you and the children..."
"Not yet Elsie...It's still early...We will manage..."
He started to unbutton his pajama top and droped it on the floor...She looked at his naked chest and she moved her hands through it...No matter how long they were married, she adored the sight of his manly chest...So broad, so sexy...He took it as an encouragement and he started to take of her night dress, impatient to feel her naked body...
"Charles..."-Elsie purred..."You are being amorous in the morning? What brought this on?"
"My wife brought this on...My lovely, entcing wife...Who I miss very much...Because at night time we are both so exhausted, that we can't think of anything else but sleep, but now..."
"But now I shoud start to prepare breakfast, kids for school and..."
"We have time...It can wait...Just let me have few sweet moments with my most darling wife..."
He showered her neck with kisses and he squeezed her naked breasts gently...Moaning quietly...He loved her preganant breasts...Elsie had such beautiful, full breasts normally, but when she was pregnant, they were even more enticing for him than usual... He swiftly took one of them in his mouth and began to suck it with devotion...
Elsie closed her eyes, enjoying the sensations...She adored when Charles was caressing her breasts, especially now, when she was pregnant...They were more sensitive and more recipient to his touches..
Charles sucked them both eagerly, alternately with licking the hardened peaks...
"Oh Charles...Oh...It feels so good...Please don't stop..."
"I don't intend to stop... My only intention is to satisfy my wife fully..."
Elsie surrendered completely when she heard those words...She closed her eyes again and focused on those wonderful attentions, that Charles was giving to her breasts...She was moaning quietly and when she felt that his head was moving further down, kissing her belly delicately, she kept on wondering whan was his plan...Very soon, she discovered his plan, when she felt his head between her thighs...Her body jolted, when he put his tongue inside her, caressing her special place so lovingly...
Elsie shuddered...That wasn't something new for both of them...They were both familiar with this kind of love making, but they didn't perform that very often...Elsie was to shy to speak to Charles about it openly, but she wasn't too shy to admit it to herself, that it was one of her favorite bed activities...When she felt his lips and tongue there, she was excited, wet and ready for everything...
Charles was licking and sucking her with passion and Elsie felt that she was nearing her climax...When he started to circle around her clit, her body arched up and she muffled her cries with her hand, not to wake the children, with the sounds that were certainly inapropriate for their ears...
"Oh God Charles...Oh yes! Yes!...Oh..."-Elsie reached her peak easily, as his skilled tongue drove her near madness...He gave her one moment to back to reality and he kissed his way up...Charles was so very aroused with her reaction, that he dreamed of nothing else but to finally be inside her...
He groaned when she grabbed his arousal, stroking it gently up and down...
"Elsie...Oh my darling...I won't last no more...I need you now...Can we...?"
"Yes, please Charles...Please..."
He inserted her with ease, as she was slick after her glorious climax from a moment ago...He moved inside her so slowly, like he wanted to prolong this moment to infinity...
He was watching at the delight written on her face, once more thanking God, that his wife was so passionate and that their bedroom moments were as much pleasurable for her as it were for him...He loved that side of her...Apart from being a wonderful wife, she was also a steamy mistress and that made their love life so special...
He put his head in the crook of her neck, still thrusting inside her, but now a little faster, as he felt his release approaching...As always in those times, he slowly began to loose control over himself:
"Oh Elsie...My beautiful...My precious...I love you...I'm so close now...My sweet...Oh Els!"
Along with the last exclamation, he spilled himself inside her and fell on the pillow... Elsie touched his face gently, kissing him softly on the lips...She didn't have a second climax, because Charles finished before she had a chance to warm up enough to achieve it, but it didn't matter...He satisfy her with his mouth earlier and she was happy...
"I love you Charles...So very much...Thank you for this sweet moment..."
"I love you too my little flower...Thank you...I needed that very much..."
"I know you did...It's been too long since we..."
"We need to change that...To find a way..."-Elsie stroke the inside of his thigh, while his hand was touching her breasts with love...They both knew that it was time to get up and to start another day, full of duties, but it felt so heavenly, lying naked, together in bed, lazily touching...Charles kissed Elsie's temple and she reciprocated, placing small, loving kisses to his chest...
They could go on like this for a while, but they heard a dor nub of their bedroom door being pushed (Charles always closed the door of their bedroom for the night, in case they would want to be intimate) and they heard a voice of their son outside:
"Mummy...We shoud have some breakfast now. I will be late for school..."-Charlie was impatient about going to school, as always...
"I will be right there Charlie...Me and daddy are getting up now...Please go downstairs and cover the table..."
"Ok Mummy.."
They heard the Charlies's footsteps, as he loudly stomp down the stairs...
"Well...So much for romantic moments this morning...We really have to get up now Charles..."
"I guess we do...One more thing Elsie..."-Charles kissed Elsie softly and stroke her face gently..."I love you my sweet...So very much..."
"I love you too..."
The romantic mood soon had to be replaced with the usual set of morning duties, in spite of her lovely morning distraction from her husband and maybe because of it, Elsie felt that everything was going very efficiently this morning. She noticed that Charlotte was not so lively as usual by the breakfast. Normally, Charlotte was the one who made the biggest noise, but she thought that maybe they had some fight with Victoria , which was nothing new and she promised to talk about it with her daughter later.
When the children left the house, Elsie and Charles went to the Abbey and another day of hard work had began for them.
After lunch, when Elsie and Mrs Brown were checking the linens, suddenly one of the maids asked Elsie to come down, saying that Charlie came to the Abbey very frightened. Charles was busy upstairs, serving lunch to the family, so Elsie hurried downstairs, to check what was the problem.
"Charlie, what happened? Why are you not at the cottage?"
"Mummy, there is something wrong with Charlotte...She didn't feel well at school, but now it's getting worse..She has a fever and she can't get up from the sofa...Please mummy come home now.."
Elsie tried not to panic, but she was restless...She informed Beryl about the situation and hurried to the cottage..When she got there, she was pale as the ghost...Little Charlotte was indeed very ill...She was lying on the sofa, with burning cheeks, with a lot of perspiration on her forehead... Her breath was not even...Like she had difficulity breathing...Elsie tried to remain calm and think logically...
"Charlie, please take Victoira and go to the house...Ask your daddy to call Dr Clarkson here...You need to stay at the Abbey...We don't know what kind of disease Charlotte has...Please go to the Abbey and hurry...
Charlie and Victoria were frightened, but they listened to Elsie's request at once...They both hurried to the Abbey, leaving Elsie with Charlotte...The girl was having a very high fever...Her little body was shuddering and Elsie put the blankets to cover her...She soaked the towel and she put it into Charlotte's forehead...Elsie had tears in her eyes, when she saw her beloved daughter suffering like this...
"Charlotte...Mummy is here...Mummy is with you...You are going to be all right...The doctor will be here soon.."
Charlotte mumbled something and her little body was still shaking with fever...
Very soon the Dr and Charles arrived...After careful examination, Dr Clarkson told the frightened parents, that it was a very difficult case of influenza...The girl was in a really bad state...He ordered the other children to be seperated and he advised Elsie, that due to her condition, she should be separated as well, but Elsie didn't want to hear about it..
Charles hurried to the Abbey, to ask for the possibility of stay for Victoria and Charlie...
He came back as soon as possible...The nearest night was the worst one...Around ten p.m. Elsie asked Charles to summon the doctor again, because she had a feeling that their little girl won't make it...
Charles was terrified and when he left, Elsie stayed alone and she burst into tears, watching as her little girl was fighting for every breath...
The hope entered her when Charlotte opened her eyes for a moment and spoke:
"Mummy...Why is this lady with wings standing by the door? Did she came to take me?"
Elsie was horrified...She reminded herself all the stories that she heard as a young girl, that children are seeing angels, shortly before they die...
"Charlotte...Sweetheart...Mummy is here, with you...I love you...I love you so much...I won't let anyone take you away from mummy...My little, precious girl...Please fight, fight for mummy..."
When Charles and Dr Clarkson arrivied, Elsie was no longer trying to hide her shivery state... She was all in tears...Dr Clarkson was checking Charlotte's state again and when he finished his study...His face was very worried...
"Doctor please tell us, how is the situation?"-Charles was pale as the ghost...
"I'm not going to lie to you Mr and Mrs Carson...Charlotte is in critical state..."
"Oh my god...No..."-Elsie was crying openly and Charles hugged her, trying to keep her steady...
Will she survive it Dr?"-Charles looked at Dr Clarkson with hope in his eyes...
"If she will survive the night, she will live..."
Dr gave them few, more orders and left, leaving Elsie and Charles, devastated...Elsie never left her bed, for one moment this night...Charles was with her, trying to convince her to lie down, even for a moment, but she wouldn't listen...She was holding Charlotte's hand and talking to her all the time, saying some tender words...She was checking her temperature by putting the lips on her forehead...
Charles felt that tears gathered in his eyes, when he looked at their beloved daughter, fighting for each breath... When the night was slowly transfering into the morning, Elsie driffted to sleep, hugged tightly by Charles, which was holding her tightly in her arms, while they were both sitting on the chair, near Charlotte's bed...
Elsie didn't sleep long, when she woke up, from her restless sleep, she saw the Charlotte was sleeping peacefully in her bed..Her breath was much more even and her cheeks were no longer bright red because of the fever...Elsie touched her forehead gently and she saw that her temperature has fallen down...She sighed with relief and she kissed her darling girl...
She woke up Charles gently, touching his shoulder
"Elsie? What's wrong? How is Charlotte?"
"She is much better...Her temperature has fallen down...She is sleeping now...I think we won Charles...She will live...Our girl will live..."
"What a relief...Our sweetest girl...I was so terrified this night...If anything happened to her...I wouldn't be able to take it...I love her so much..."
"I know...I love her too...Our, sweet, fierce Charlotte...Can't imagine our life without her..."
"I knew that she will survive...She has that Scottish spirit inside her..."
"Now wait a minute..."
"You know that it's true..You always repeat how she is the spitting image of me.."
"She is...That's why she fought so hard...Elsie...I will make you a breakfast and you need to lie down.."
"Oh, but Charlotte..."
"I will take care of everything...You need to rest Els...In your condition..."
"I'm exhausted...But will you be here all the time?"
"I promise...All the time...I will take care of Charlotte..."
"But if she feels worse, just wake me instantly..."
"I will, but please...She is sleeping now...Just let me feed you and you need to rest...I'm sure you are hungry by now..."
"Famished and so is your son..."
"I bet he is. My boy"-Charles and Elsie smiled to each other, first time since yesterday and after checking Charlotte one more time, they both went to have some breakfast...
