the baby sitter (with my spin on it)

[intriguess]

I sat there nursing little Callie, and waited, I had hired a babysitter to keep an eye on her while I took some time for myself. A friend had suggested it, she said that it was worth the money to be able to take a bath in peace. So here I was breast feeding Callie before she arrived and hoped that it would go smoothly.




OOC so the baby sitter in this case would be male, slightly voyeuristic perhaps, and watching the mom as the baby sleeps.

 

[hellsgate]

Yes, I'd *LOVE* to nurse from a milking mother & then *TAKE* her. Never mind the husband or boyfriend. Chances are, if the mom's saying Yes to *you*, the guys in her life have been saying No.

Come To Daddy!!!!

 

[hellsgate]

I showed up at the door wearing my usual fresh-from-the-dryer jeans, dark felt green long-sleeve pull-over shirt & faux-leather jacket & pull-on pseudo-formal shoes. I'd been babysitting for years as everyone in high school who partied a little too hard, made me the honorary "uncle", (meaning) "guy with a good heart." I was no "Angel" from TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

I handed the woman who answered the door a moderate portfolio of infant & toddler first-aid qualifications, a list of previous local clients, & a criminal record check from the R.C.M.P. I was a Process Server with the city of Ottawa Ontario Canada & a part-time Private Investigator specializing in closed-adoption reconciliations. A long, weird story for another time.

While clean shaven, I'd had my share of compliments I took with a grain of salt. Often compared to celebrities like 80's Child Actor Corey Haim & Pro Ice Skater Elvis Stojko. But the minute she openned the door, she (emotionally) dropped me like a sack of hammers without laying a finger on me! Choir of angels singing...ethereal back-lighting...the whole cliche come-to-life!

She was a tad astonished to see a Man trying his hand at watching a baby no bigger than the span of his wrist to his elbow. A rent-a-cop no less! I explained myself. Simply filling-in untill her usual babysitter, one of my ex-girlfriends & mother of my god-son Raymond, untill she could work again. Fell down a flight of steps & bruised herself up enough to make walking - let alone keeping up with kids, significantly troublesome.

I flashed on gratuitous scenes of lust that would make even ex-porn actor Traci Elizabeth Lords have a coronary! The mother relaxed reluctantly while reading my portfolio & invited me inside.

Callie's Mom

The last thing I expected when I opened the door was a guy, this certainly couldn't be the person that was recommended he filled me in on the details and handed me a portfolio filled with glowing recommendations. Being a single mom sucked and right now I was thinking of other things I desperately needed beside a long relaxing bath. I noticed he was staring at Callie, and then I realized that my breasts were still showing I slowly pulled my robe closed and set down the portfolio, "It looks fine, at this moment anyone without a criminal past would do. I just got done nursing, and she should sleep for the next couple of hours, but you never know she may be gassy or need a diaper change soon. Would you like to try and put her down for the night, I've been looking forward to a bath all week."

That sounded desperate, like I hadn't bathed in a week, when in fact it was short cold showers, and I felt overly protective as I handed him Callie. I wondered about the ex-girlfirend who he was the godfather of her child? did that mean she had moved on? Lord did he even know how sexy he was as he took my two month old bundle of joy from me.

"If you need anything, the bathroom is down the hall and on the left." I added leaning in and kissing Callie one last time on the forehead before stepping back.

 

[hellsgate]

I had a small nylon book-bag over one shoulder & around my neck. Before the woman closed her robe, an appreciative, admiring smirk appeared on my face & she returned a flustered "Don't - Even - THINK - It".

She reticently handed me Callie, I asked for a moment to take off my gear & then I'd take her. I dropped my stuff on the worn chair next to the door, rummaged through a pocket of it for a C.D. labelled "Sea Of Love - The Honeydrippers", put it in my pants pocket & picked up Callie.

"No problem. I'll get some of her pacifiers or something in the freezer in case she's beginning to teethe. Or I'll just use frozen waffles. Something I saw on Roseanne on TV once."

Callie cooed, reached up at my face, with it's slight five o'clock shadow. I cradled her in my arms & kissed her forehead & tiny, tiny hands no bigger than one of my fingertips. She looked shocked a moment & smiled hugely at me ear-to-ear as if to say "Oh, ok..I *think* I like that."

I headed for the entertainment center, dimmed the volume WAY down, set up the C.D. tune as I leanned back to balence Callie on my chest/stomach as I examined the collection of music already in the exchanger turn-table a bit.

"Nice collection." I called behind me, but Mom was already gone to the bathroom.

I set up the track to repeat & sat down in a nearby rocking-chair in the livingroom bay-window alcove overlooking a small playground, & set Callie face-down on my chest.

Cautiously rocking, Rubbing Callie's back & humming/singing to her "Do you re-mem-ber..when we met?" Callie would respond with a yawn & rub her face as best she could for her young age.

 

[intriguess]

I didn't want to tell him that I didn't have any pacifiers as it was a bad habit especially while I was still breast feeding. Then again it was probably impossible to prepare for a two month old infant. I started the bath water running, not too hot as I was still breast feeding. While Callie ate well my breasts were to be blunt overly full and lush anyway and held more than she could possibly eat. I had frozen some for later and was hooked up with the local La Leche League in case I kept oversupplying. I poured some bath salts in hearing the dim music and smiled as I left the door open a crack, a habit of a young mother I suppose as I draped the robe up on the door and stepped into the tub. I could feel every ache in my body as the hot water began soothing away the minor aches and pains. I thought again about the man with my daughter and how he had unashamedly ogled my breasts. I tried not to think of Callie's father who had dropped off the face of the planet when I told him I was pregnant and keeping the child. My fingers slide over my full breasts eyeing the dark hard nipples, seeing them ooze a little as I gave my breasts a gentle squeeze.

The water would cool all too quickly I thought and begin washing my skin. I was just about to do my hair when I decided since I had the luxury of time I would go ahead and shave my legs. Not that anyone was looking, but it was a treat and my silky pajama pants always felt more sinful when I shaved my legs. Not that I had much time to be sinful in the past six months, but that's what pregnancy and motherhood will do to a person. I told myself that Callie was probably going to be dead to the world all night, a Murphy's law for mothers, if you need the baby to sleep they won't, if you have them taken care of they will sleep.

 

[hellsgate]

I wait for Mom to come out of the bathroom instead of just barging in & helping myself, as I suddenly felt an insatiable need to pee - BADLY.

"This must be what you did to her." I nodded toward the hallway. "Where's Daddy, hmm? Bailled on you & Mom, hmm? What say we order out tonight? You do that all the time, meals on gorgeous legs, but I gotta tell ya, Punky, ( - do you mind if i call you that? - ) being on the city payroll isn't half as cool as your arrangement with the landlord back there. You're going to *love* Rosebowl Restaurant Egg Rolls & boneless pork, washed down with Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi - my personal faves."

Callie just smiles up at me & puts her head back down in her groggy way, completely oblivious to anything I'm saying.

"Well, I'll take you there for a walk this evening for fresh air. You know - to do things 'take-out' style. I'll see what I can do about coughing-up a stroller, too. Mommy's so busy. I'm not Daddy, but I can spare five to ten bucks at a vintage or garage-sale type place or something. The Rosebowl has milk there, too, so maybe I won't wait untill you get teeth. I'll just say you're my niece. (A large disappointed sigh.) Frankly - I wish you were mine somehow, Little One. Your mom's a knock-out & your dad's probably banging a kid still in high school. Yeah, real companionship alright. Really fair to someone who stands & delivers on Faith alone. A lady who gave Daddy an heir & a legacy to be proud of...someone to carry-on the family name, right? Wrong. But what do I know? I'm not Daddy. Are you going to remember any of the wisdom I hope you're listening to? I just hope Daddy is there for your daddy-daughter dance at your wedding someday. Wish it were me."

*I cuddle & give Callie a long sentimental kiss on top of her head. Mom stops just out of sight down the hall behind me & eavesdrops without realizing that's exactly what she's doing, untill I finally get up to check on the status of access to the toilet.*

"I'm not rich but rich folk don't appreciate things that much, Callie. They don't. Its because they acquire everything with as little blood, sweat & tears as humanly possible. I hope you turn out to be a social worker or something meaningful like that. Us poor slobs like your Mom & I know all about muddling through the best you can each day, knowing when to ask for help when we're in over our heads. About giving gifts of yourself to people,... to our kids especially."

"Your Dad's a moron. Can you say ', Idiot?' Of course you can't. Silly Jason." Laughing a bit & then getting up slowly & carefully with the baby to check on the status of the bathroom.

Callie's Mom

I finally dragged my sorry ass out of the tub to hear a man's voice, first I'm on my toes alert, tense, and nerouvs and then I realize he's talking to my baby, and without knowing the whole story has pinned down that her father was only worth the sperm that produced her. I didn't even realize I was eavesdropping until I noticed a lull as he is trying to stand.

I step forward to take her from him and realize I'm being over protective. I take her from him anyway and snugly her close and move towards my favorite chair and settled down. I played with her feet trying to get her to wake up and eat a little more, but she was gone. "Come on honey mommy still has food for you sweet," I spoke to her and finally gave up as the young man returned. "Would you mind watching her a bit longer, my back is killing me and I really need to nurse more." She swore she was imagining how his eyes lit up when she said nurse and she realized that while she had dried off well enough there were two distinct wet spots on her robe from her breasts.

 

[hellsgate]

On my way back from the toilet, wiping my hands on a paper towel, I notice you addressing me and look up. My eyes light up & my pants get very snug all of a sudden & I blush profusely.

"She's a very tired little girl. Y - you did a great job with her."

"Thank you." you pause & blush. "You'd never be interested." You almost run for the bedroom & put Callie down in her basinet. Not sure what I saw just then, I give chase & stop at the bedroom door. You're my client, after all. Respect. This is your hallowed ground.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes. No - I'm a little full."

"I wouldn't be interested in what? I don't like people starting conversations & then assuming they can read my mind. Talk to me, ok?"

"Nursing."

"Try me. I'm a rent-a-cop, right? There are far worse things a cop sees & hears everyday."

"You've got a point but - I'm a married woman."

"Mmmm...I know. But your divorce is final tomorrow. Zoe told me. You caught her & Jake in here giving Jake a hummer when the shuttle-bus dropped you home a day earlier than expected with Callie."

"You're a far better person than I am. Intending to stick it out to the end & everything...but I guess all I have to offer you & the baby is this: if you're ever single again in the future, call me alright? No pressure. I think you're something special & would like to make you happy." I leave my card on the dresser & get up to leave & head back into the livingroom or maybe just leave. You know I'm trying to get you to come after me. ......

 

[intriguess]

"You can't just say something like that and walk off, and you never did say about the nursing part." I stammer, oh my god he's serious about being interested and I always knew that Jake had been uninterested in me since I began showing and even more so after I gave birth, but I didn't know that everyone knew what was going on. What the heck was that slut Zoe doing telling everyone my business anyway. "Actually my divorce will be final as soon as they track him down and get him to sign it, last I heard they were pretty damn close last week." My fingers ran through my hair and I prayed Callie would stay asleep.

Damn it, why did he have to be sexy, honorable, and interested? Not only in her body, but the entire package. "Can you believe he wants to sever his parental rights? I'm going to officially change her last name as soon as everything goes through.

 

[hellsgate]

"I'd have been honored to have been there for you all through this horrible experience. Milk or no milk. You've got the whole package, regardless. Thing is - Zoe only told me what happened here,..like...what was it... the day before yesturday. I got back from a case in New Orleans & found a panicky message on my machine to come over to Zoe's & talk to her. Jake's as much of an asshole as ever. Zoe's preggers, too now from him & reality's set in."

"She's feeling as horrible about doing what she did to you as ever. She thought I might help resolve some part of the wreckage she left behind, since I'm fully available & Jake's a waste. A player who doesn't get-it. Then I saw you & you put the Whammy on me without meaning to. It snowballed downhill from there."

"Why didn't she have you herself?"

"She's a nice person & all, she's helped me out when times were lean, but trouble follows her around like a bad smell."

"Caught her with a guy?"

"Yeah, her son Raymond's father. My best friend, Mike Kotis. DNA Test proved it. I don't need to be in that headspace & neither do you."

 

[intriguess]

"Looks like fidelity is in rare supply," I blush at his milk or no milk comment. I recalled Zoe talking about a guy who had this thing for breast milk but right now, facing him it was hard to believe the pieces were all coming together. "Shit happens to good people, as for Zoe, well I guess it would be nice for Callie to have a sibling....." I trail off as I had actually been thinking of how confused the poor child would be if her half siblings other parents had been together and the twisted shape of relationships. Then I realized that she would never need to know even as I pictured a child of ours. I blushed furiously as I could feel my damn robe slipping.

"Can we just cut the bullshit of what might be and just talk about what the hell is going on right now? because my breasts are not getting any more comfortable while we compare sorrid pasts."
