All the talking she had done to herself all day still hadn't quelled the fear that sat in the pit of her stomache.. like hundreds of tiny butterflies fluttering maddly about.. sighing she slowly opened the door and slid out, closeing it gently she moved to the side of the van and opened the door, unhooking the infant car seat she grabbed the diaper bag and gently lifted the baby seat out shutting the door and made her way up the steps to the house
She stood for a moment and knocked on the door, waiting as those butterflies began a tornado of activity in her stomache once again oO( maybe he won't be home, maybe he won't know.. how could he know?.. I am just being silly) she thought to herself.. It wasn't long before the door opened up and a tall slender woman with curly red hair stood before her smiling brightly.. " Jessica!.. come on in luv.. " she said enthusastically taking the baby carrier from her.. Jessica smiled and walked in, following her Aunt to the kitchen..
Aunt Laura set the carrier on the table and started to unbubkle the little one and lift her out.. Jessica came around the corner and entered the room, the first thing she noticed was Seth sitting there, he looked up at her and raised a brow..trying to smile she moved in and took a seat on the wicker chair, averting her eyes from him..
Jessica sat there looking anywhere but at Seth.. the room was deathly quiet for a few moments untill Seth broke the silence .. " All right jessica, I know ye were nay where ye were 'possed ta be this afternoon, so don' give me anymore of ye crap.. wha' were ye doin' tha was more important than school?" his tone was shape. Jessica looked up at him and sighed.. " I..ummmm...I.. welll" she stammered.. "spit it out lass, I'm runnin' outta patience" Seth snapped
Jessica stood abruptly and looked at him, her anger bubbling to the surface once again.. " I shouldn't have to tell you where I am going or where I have been" her hands made there way to perch upon her hips, her glare was piercing.. Seth slowly stood and rested his hands on the table leaning toward her.." Lass, I suggest ye stop with tha' attitude now, I 'ave 'ad all I am 'bout ta take from ye".. his voice never changed it was still stern and sharp.. Jessica backed up a little, she could sence his anger, she just shook her head.. Seth raised a brow toward her.." Jessica, I know ye 'ad ta see tha doctor, tha was this mornin'.. where were ye this afternoon, an' I suggest ye tell me an' tell me fast.. 'cause ye are this close to goin' over me knee lass" he guestered with his hand just how close she was..
There were those butterflies again, she was sure they were trying to get out at this point, and against her better judgement she bolted from the kitchen and down the hall, towards backdoor of the house.. fumbling with the latch on the door she felt herself being lifted off the ground, she felt like she was spinning and of course she was, for Seth had upended her across his knee.." Uncle Seth NOOOOOO.. stop, I'm sorryyyyyyyy" she screamed struggling, but it was in vain.. Seth was much more stronger than she was and he started to pepper her bottom with hard smacks
One ofeter the other hi smacked her upturned bottom, both cheeks were pink, then red, then changing to crimson in color.. her struggling stopped and she lay limply over his knee sobbing.." Ye know better tha' ta run from me lass, its nay wise an' only stands ta make me angry" he kept up his assult on her bottom for several more minutes before finally stopping.. Standing her infront of him she moved her hands back to rub her bottom, Seth grabbed her hands and stopped her.." Nay, no rubbin' now are ye going ta tell me where ya were this afternoon lass?" she stood there shiting from foot to foot trying to aleviate some of the burning.. sure that her bottom was on fire now.. she looked at him and cried..
Shaking his head he stood up and propelled her into a cornor with her nose stuck against the wall.." ye can just stay 'ere untill ye are ready ta tell me where ye were.. an' keep those hands in front of ye, i don't wanna see any rubbin" with that said he settled back into one of the chairs the family room and waited.. 20 minutes passed as Jessica's sobbing wained down to hiccupping sniffles. Seth shook his head " Allright lass, are ya ready ta tell me where ye were" his voice stern still.. she nodded her head silently.. Seth smiled.." ok lass, then come 'ere please" his voice softened
She moved slowly, pulling up her panties and jeans.. still rubbing her bottom.. Seth had his arms open waiting for her.. she gladly climbed onto his lap and burried her head into his chest.. He rubbed her back gently hugging her to him.." all right lass, tell me " his words soft.. Sniffling she looked up at him, tears still falling a little down her cheeks.." I.. I went to see mom and dad, I took Laura with me, so they could meet her." she took a deep breath.." i know its stupid. but i thought they needed to meet her" she looked away from him
Taking her chin in his hand he made her look at him.. he wiped a stray tear away.. "Nay lass, tis not stupid at all.. ye mom and dad, I am sure are lookin' down and smiling upon ye now.. I just wish ye 'ad told me tha' tha first time I asked ye, this could have all been avoided.. Jessica nodded and went back to burrying her face in her uncle's chest once again.. Seth just held her and let her cry it all out.....
