This choice: Lincoln takes care of Darcy and Charlotte. • Go Back...Chapter #7Lincoln takes care of Darcy and Charlotte. by: G-Breaker   Lincoln knew that Lisa needed to hang out with some friends, but he also knew what happens if one of Lisa's inventions should go haywire. The girls were pretty disappointed that they had to wait for Lisa, so, reluctantly, Lincoln decided to keep them around the only way he could.
"Look you two. Lisa will be down here soon. So, how about I take care of you two until she's ready. Ok?" Lincoln offered. Darcy and Charlotte looked at each other and then shrugged as they thought it would be just as fun to play with their best friend's big brother.
"Okay Lincoln. We'll play with you first, and then we'll play with Lisa." Darcy answered.
"Yeah! Let's play!" Charlotte added while munching on her chocolate bar.
"Great, girls. So, what do you want to do first?" Lincoln asked. The girls pondered what to do until they heard their stomachs growling. "Sounds like you two are pretty hungry. I'll make you some lunch."
"But, what about our play time, Lincoln?" Darcy asked.
"You can't play and have fun with an empty stomach. Now come on." Lincoln said as he told them to sit on the living room couch. "Now you two just sit here. I'll be back with something good for you."
The girls waited a few minutes while Lincoln was cooking them lunch. "Lincoln's really nice. Don't you think Charlotte?" Darcy awkwardly asked as the quiet atmosphere made her nervous.
"I guess he's okay. For a big kid." Charlotte replied with a bit of venom in her tone. "I don't like big kids. They're mean."
"Lincoln doesn't seem mean, Charlotte. He just wanted to make us feel better since Lisa couldn't play with us." Darcy said, hoping to ease the tension. "And he's making us lunch. And besides, I kind of like him."
"If you say so." Charlotte said. Lincoln had just come back with a tray containing two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and two glasses of milk for the girls.
"Okay girls. Lunch is served." Lincoln said placing the tray on the table in front of the couch. The girls looked at the tray and thought the food looked really good.
"Mmm. That looks yummy, Lincoln! What is it?" Darcy asked.
"It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Haven't you ever had one?" Lincoln asked and Darcy shook her head saying that she clearly hadn't. "Well, you're gonna like it. Lisa always loved the PBnJ sandwiches I made for her."
They both looked at the sandwiches and then realized that it would be rude not to try it after Lincoln went to all the trouble. Darcy and Charlotte took a bite of their sandwiches and loved the taste so much. "Yummy!" They both shouted with delight.
"This is so good, Lincoln! I love it!" Darcy said.
"Glad you girls like it." After they finished their lunches, they were finally ready to play with Lincoln.
"Let's play now, Lincoln!"
"Okay girls." Lincoln chuckled. He then started giggling as he could feel Darcy and Charlotte started tickling his sides. "Hey, cut that out! I'm ticklish!"
"Catch us if you can, Linky!" Darcy said as they started running. But then Lincoln didn't want them to get hurt or wreck anything in the house.
"Hold on, girls!" Lincoln said, causing them to stop. "No running in the house." Lincoln commanded, making the girls sigh. "If you want me to chase you, then let's go outside!"
Darcy and Charlotte got their smiles back as they headed out the back door as Lincoln gave chase. They ran around the backyard with Lincoln running after them. They were all having fun and wished Lisa could join them. Lincoln giggled as he managed to catch up with Charlotte while Darcy was able to run faster.
"Gotcha, Charlotte!" Lincoln said as he put his hands on Charlotte's shoulders. "Ouch!" But then he felt Charlotte bite his arm again. "Charlotte, that hurts."
Charlotte giggled as she let go of Lincoln's arm. "I can't help it, Lincoln. I like to bite things. Hey, can we chase Darcy together?" She asked and Lincoln happily agreed as Charlotte climbed on top of Lincoln shoulders and rode on him like a horse. "Yay!"
Lincoln then ran after Darcy with Charlotte on top of him, hanging onto his head. She was having a great time feeling the wind while riding Lincoln.
"We're coming, Darcy!" Lincoln called as Darcy tried to run faster. Eventually, they caught up to her. "We got you, Darcy!" Lincoln said, tagging Darcy as Charlotte cheered.
"Okay Lincoln, you got me. Hey, can I have a turn?" Darcy asked to be the next to ride Lincoln and he happily said yes. But Charlotte didn't want to give up her place on Lincoln's head just yet.
"Aww. But Lincoln, I wanna ride you some more!" Charlotte whined.
"Come on, Charlotte. Let Darcy have a turn." Lincoln insisted. "Ow! Charlotte!" Lincoln was not happy as Charlotte bit him again. She kept gnawing on his head, much to Lincoln's annoyance and put her hands over his eyes. "Hey, Charlotte! Knock it off!"
"I wanna ride Linky next! No fair, Charlotte!" Darcy started whining and stomping on the ground.
"Enough, Charlotte!" Lincoln shouted and pulled Charlotte's hands off of his eyes. He then ordered her to get off of him. But then he saw that she was a little bit hurt by how Lincoln talked to her. He felt guilty and kneeled down to Charlotte's level and then put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Charlotte. I didn't mean to shout at you like that. You still wanna play?" Charlotte silently nodded. "Okay."
"Darcy, it's your turn. Up you go." Lincoln said.
"Yay!" Darcy cheered and climbed on top of Lincoln's shoulders. They then gave chase after Charlotte, who was, apparently, still hurt after Lincoln yelled at her. She started running but then turned back and Lincoln saw her sad face. It was like she was running as if Lincoln was a monster.
But then, she didn't look where she was going, tripped on a rock and tumbled to the ground. Lincoln stopped and grew worried as he ran up to Charlotte. "Charlotte! Are you alright?!" Lincoln asked in concern as Darcy got off of his shoulders. Lincoln saw her eyes tearing up and saw a big scrape on her left knee.
"I'm sorry, Lincoln. But, you scared me."
Lincoln looked at her sadly and decided to make her feel better. He put a gentle hand on her shoulder and lifted her up. "It's okay, Charlotte. Let me fix you up. Come on." Lincoln lead them back into the house and had Charlotte sit at the dining table. He got a first aid kit and washed Charlotte's wound, sprayed it with a medical spray, and then put a bandage on it.
"There you go, Charlotte. That should help. Here you go." Lincoln handed a chocolate chip cookie to Charlotte to help her feel better. She then looked at him and smiled again as she jumped and gave Lincoln a surprise hug to show how thankful she was, much to Darcy's joy. Lincoln giggled and then returned the hug.
"Thank you, Lincoln. You're the best!" Charlotte bit into her cookie as Darcy also hugged him from the side of his legs.
"So, do you two want to play outside some more?" Lincoln asked. But the girls decided they wanted to play inside instead. Lincoln brought them back to the living room where they all played together.
Lincoln just sat on the couch as Darcy kept talking to him as the voice of her toy giraffe, Rafo, and Charlotte just kept nibbling on his head, but a little more playful and gently this time. Charlotte had so much fun sitting on Lincoln's shoulders and biting his head. She was actually starting to taste something good on Lincoln, but she didn't know what it was. "Hey Lincoln, you taste good." Charlotte said and Lincoln awkwardly giggled at her strange comment.
"Okay, Charlotte. That's enough." Lincoln responded as he lifted Charlotte off of him. "Okay girls. What do you say we go check on Lisa now?" Lincoln offered. The girls thought about going to see Lisa now, but then again, they were having so much fun with Lincoln and they didn't want it to end.
