Chapter 6

A/N- This is going to take place during the Christmas holidays

The snow started falling the night before and by morning the world lay under a white blanket.

Peter was woken up by something small and heavy being dumped on his stomach,or rather plopping on his stomach and sticky little hands on either side of his face.

Opening his eyes ,he saw Lucy grinning at him,"I'm glad you're home" Lucy said happily.

Peter sat up after gently pushing Lucy off his stomach ,the little girl settled herself comfortably on his bed."Good morning,Lu" Peter said taking in her appearance for some reason,she had jam all over her face even in her hair and the front of her nightgown(which would account for her sticky hands).

"Lucy,why do you have jam on your face and nightgown" he asked ."Had bread and jam" Lucy stated in a matter of fact tone

"But you're not even allowed to touch the knives how'd you spread it"Peter wondered almost afraid to know

Lucy held up two little, chubby sticky hands that had traces of jam on them" Hands"

Peter suppressed a groan and laugh "Did you make a huge mess in the kitchen" he asked

he didn't wait for an answer "Never mind,come here,we need to get you cleaned up before Mummy sees you and has a heart attack" he slid out of bed and lifted Lucy off the bed .

"That means a bath ,doesn't it?" Lucy asked wrinkling her nose "I don't like baths "

"Well,I can't leave you sticky and jammy you know" Peter said leaving the bathroom and heading down the hall toward the room his sisters shared,tiptoeing in,he noticed Susan still sleeping,he opened the wardrobe as softly as he could,but the creak woke Susan up,"Peter" she grumbled sleepily"What are you doing"

Peter pulled gathered up Lucy clothes,"Lu fixed her own breakfast
he explained.

Susan rolled her eyes and burrowed deeper into her pillow and pulled the covers up over her head.

Going back into the bathroom,he noticed Lucy had poured all of the bath soap in the bathtub,she smiled at him .

Peter looked at her a bit disapprovingly "Arms up" he instructed helping her out of her nightgown ,then left her to finish getting undressed with the instructions to wash and not make too much of a mess.

He headed downstairs to the kitchen,the bread and jam lay on the counter .He set to work on cleaning up the kitchen before the rest of the family woke up.

"What time is it" Lucy asked it was after her bath and she and Peter were sitting on the couch ,Lucy lay curled up in his lap.

"Six -thirty five" Peter said patiently even though this was the sixth time Lucy had asked for the time

"When beakfest" Lucy asked

"Seven -thirty" Peter replied, his thoughts far off

"Is it seven-thirty,I'm hungy"Lucy asked sticking her thumb in her mouth

Peter looked at her "Didn't you have jam and toast,Miss Lucy Doll "

Lucy didn't answer ,yawning widely she curled up and fell asleep .

Peter's eyes grew heavy and soon he couldn't keep them open any longer and the slowly closed.
