Chapter 1, Part 6: The Long Day Has Come to an End
After dinner the boy were given permission to go play up in their room until bath time. Both Boys were relieved to get away from the adults, but were not really looking forward to being alone with each other. They haven’t had a chance to talk since the trial.

As they entered their room, Jeremy turned to Jayson and said,

“I’m really sorry this happened to you. I understand that your mad and me and probably don’t want to talk to me. But if you could find it in your heart to forgive me I would appreciate it. “

“You know something Jeremy,” Jayson responded, “This is all your fault. If you weren’t too busy playing around in the car I wouldn’t have run that light, and that accident wouldn’t have happened. That poor girl had to be rejuived because of us. And it’s not fair. Not for her, not for me not for anybody.”

“I know that” Jeremy started to respond “but…”

“There will be no buts…expect maybe ours. Jems this time you really did it.”

“I know and I am sorry”

“Sorry isn’t good enough this time and I am afraid that we are both going to learn that the hard way.” Jayson replied with a rub to his behind. “I don’t want to talk about it anymore. We’d better find something to do before we get spanked again.”

“Ok”



The boys played quietly in their room for the next hour or so until David interrupted them. He couldn’t help but smile as he saw Jayson laying on the floor looking at a book and Jeremy running a little truck around and around in circles. It’s amazing he though to himself. Just a few days ago these were two grown adults and now they are playing like the little 5-year old they are.

“Alright you two, it’s bath time”

The boys followed David across the hall to the bathroom.

“Jayson, you go potty while I get Jeremy undressed.” Instructed David.

David turned on the water and then went about undressing Jeremy. He then instructed Jeremy to use the potty will he undressed Jayson. Then he put both boys in the water and started to scrub them from head to toe. He was half expecting a fight from one or both of them but neither one seemed to mind. They actually had a pleasant time playing in the tub. It felt good to get the little boy dirt and grime washed off.

After the bath he wrapped both boys up in a big fluffy towel and helped them change into their pajamas

“Ok boys, Jeremy I am going to read you a bed time story and Jayson you have a date with your Mommy in our bedroom.”

Jayson started to sniffle. He had forgotten about his spanking. He had hoped that mommy forgot too. Unfortunately for him it didn’t look like she did. He didn’t argue or protest, even though every bone in is body said to flee. He mustered up all the courage he had and went down the hall to his parent’s bedroom.

When he got there he noticed that the door was partly closed. He paused for a moment and debated if he should just walk in. He decided to knock, just to be on the safe side.

“Come on in honey, I’ve been waiting for you.” his mommy called out.

Jayson took a deep breath, and gathering up his courage again he entered the room. He saw that mommy had put a straight back chair in the middle of the room. She was sitting on it waiting for him to come over to her. He walked over to her slowly pushing down the terrible instinct he had to run away.

She held out her arms to him and he accepted them. The one thing he needed most right now was some cuddling. She cuddled him for a couple of minutes settling both their nerves. When she though he was feeling comfortable enough she asked him,

“Do you know why you’re here baby?”

Jayson nodded his head. “Cuz you gonna spank me.”

“Do you know why I am going to spank you?”

Again Jayson nodded, “because I was a bad boy and was enjoying watching Jeremy get ‘panked. Cuz I though he deserved it. And cuz I was glad he was hurting cuz he made me hurt.”

“First of all you are not bad. Some of your actions are. Sometimes you make bad choices. But you are not bad. And furthermore the reason you gave me is only partly why I am going to spank you. I am going to spank you because you were taking pleasure in your brother’s pain. It is not right to do that. You need to be able to feel his pain with him. He is your flesh and blood. You can’t make yourself feel better because someone is hurting. It’s ok to see justice done, but revenge is wrong. Do you understand?”

“I think so. It’s ok if I am glad he is getting a spanking for something he did as long as I don’t use his pain to make me feel better?”

“Yes that’s it. I am glad that you understand. Now we have some business to take care of.”

Abigail scooted Jayson off of her lap and then over it. He hated being spanked like this. He felt totally hopeless. Abigail raised her palm and brought it down with a light “tap” on his bottom. Jayson was shocked. He waited for the spanking to begin, but no blows came. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, he asked.

“Mommy, aren’t you gonna spank me?”

“I just did honey.” She picked him up and turned him around to hug him. “I think you have learned your lesson. That’s all the spanking you’re going to get tonight. Now off to bed with you before I change my mind.”

Jayson gave her a big smile and hug and with a tap to his bottom he was off to bed.
