Part 2 Robert and SD1 are father and son Charlie is Robert's Lodger and sister Judith's lover. Sarah and SD2 are mother and daughter. Robert and Sarah are linked by having Downs Syndrome Children. A week later, SD was so excited, cos it was club night and he was going to see SD2 again. Robert got SD to the club early. They were the first ones there. He waited outside and finally SD2 and her mum arrived, the girl shot off and into the club. The woman looked appalling and tried to avoid Robert. When he caught up with her, she told him to sod off. She apologised, and then said I feel dirty, whilst I and SD2 were at work, the bastards had broken into our flat and wrecked it. The council have put us in a hostel and we’ve got nothing but the charity clothes they give us. The Hostel stinks of piss and worse. I’ve had to put all our “belongings” in this plastic bag, cos if I left them there, they’d be nicked. Well said Robert come home with me. You can have a bath, wash your hair and smarten yourself up. As luck would have it, Judith and Charlie were round.Charlie was picking up his “things”. When the introductions were made, Judith asked what do you do for a living? Sarah, for that was SD2’s mother’s name, said I’m a cleaner and a cook. I do an early office cleaning job, cash in hand and then I do school dinners. Judith told her that my boss needs a tea lady/cleaner, its normal office hours and if you don’t mind getting stuck in, it’s not a bad job. But you’ve got to wear a uniform.Its £6 pounds an hour plus you get 25 days a year paid Holiday. Sarah told Judith what had happened to her and Judith said come back with me now. I’ve got a load of stuff I don’t wear and you might as well have it. It will tide you over till you get back on your feet. Judith then told her brother that he could pick up SD1 and SD2 and bring them back to her place. With that Judith ushered Robert and Charlie out. As he went Charlie whispered to Robert, me and Judith are getting married and as your father’s dead we want you to give her away and I want SD as my best man. Robert and Charlie were back at the Church Hall in good time. At 10.15 the doors opened and he went in and said to the SDs that he was taking them to Auntie Judith’s; he told SD2 that her mum had gone back to Judith’s house. But the 2 of them took no notice and walked over to Robert’s car and stood by its nearside rear door. The four got into the car. SD and SD2 spent the journey kissing, cuddling and worse. When they arrived at Judith’s they were welcomed by Judith and a transformed Sarah. SD2 said mummy you look beautiful. Judith had kitted Sarah out in some really nice clothes. Judith had also done Sarah’s hair and make up. Judith informed Robert that Sarah and SD2 would be staying with her, that Charlie would pick up SD as normal but he would be 15 minutes earlier than usual as he was going to drop SD2 off at her Sheltered Workshop, in the evening Charlie would be dropping SD off about 15 minutes later than usual as he would be picking up SD2 on his way home. Oh and finally tomorrow night, Robert and SD you are invited for dinner. She added get here at 7.30 and we will eat at eight. Sarah gave her notice in at her 2 jobs. In the afternoon she went to Judith’s firm, was interviewed by the boss and offered the job at £6.50p an hour. Judith arrived home from work to find Sarah hoovering the house. She told Judith that I’ve done the kitchen, the bathroom, the toilet and the en-suite shower rooms. I’ve also put the light coloured washing in the machine. See I’ve got no money till Friday when I get paid. She continued we will have to talk about rent, and I’ll have to look for somewhere else to live. Shut up said Judith. You and your daughter are my guests. But I don’t mind sharing the chores. Later that evening Charlie came back with SD2, they’d been late night shopping and Charlie had bought her a smart party frock and as she called them “big girls shoes”. Charlie was flush having been promoted to foreman following Stan’s retirement. Stan had said to the boss that Charlie ought to be considered for the post as he was the only one on the shop floor that could do it. Stan had also groomed Charlie for the job and told him what to say when the boss interviewed him. It was a popular appointment cos Charlie was very fair and a hard worker. So when Robert and SD turned up in their party best they were met by Sarah and SD2 also dressed up for the occasion. Judith had lent Sarah a party frock. Sarah had said to Judith, I’m just a big Cindy Doll to you. Judith had burst out laughing and agreed. At about 7.45 Robert’s brother turned up with his wife and children, he had also brought his mother. When they were all sat for Dinner Charlie stood up and got down on one knee and proposed to Judith, she readily accepted his offer of marriage. You see in addition to SD2’s smart gear Charlie had also bought an engagement ring. He told Judith that if she didn’t like it they could go back to the shop and get it changed. Judith in tears said that she loved it because it was what Charlie had chosen, she could always buy a ring, but she could not chose it with love as Charlie had. Robert turned to his mother and said that he was absolutely astonished as he had always thought that his sister was a dyke. The mother lets now call her Granny said oh she was, till she met Charlie. She then changed the subject. SD1 and SD2 spent the evening kissing and cuddling. Charlie and Judith were lost in conversation, Robert’s Brother and Sister in Law spent the evening trying to control their three unruly daughters, in between which they rowed with each other. This all rather forced Robert and Sarah into each others company. Robert thought Sarah beautiful, and Sarah thought that Robert was her knight in shining armour. Granny quietly cleared the table and did the washing up. She felt so relieved, Judith had at last got a man, and Robert perhaps had got at least a bed friend if not a wife! She wondered what either Charlie or Sarah’s father was like. I mean Granny was only 60, and she could also do with a companion. Her late husband had said when in the last throws of a terminal illness that he would die happier if he thought he would not be leaving her to live alone. He had added that if somebody turns up grab him. A month on from the party Charlie and Judith married. Robert gave Judith away and SD was a fantastic best man. SD2 was the Senior Brides maid and Robert’s three nieces were the juniors. The reception was held at Granny’s house. SD’s speech was brilliant. He said Auntie Judith is my best Auntie and now Charlie is my best Uncle, though he will always be my best friend. So I am very happy. He then sat down. Charlie’s dad had come along to the wedding and he gave a moving speech. He said that Charlie had at last got a decent break, that he and Charlie’s late mother had been hopeless parents. However somehow Charlie had survived and now he was a Foreman and married with a lovely wife. Charlie’s dad blessed them all and thanked Robert for having taken Charlie in, cos that had been the turning point in his son’s life. Robert’s brother and family then left as the youngest girl was getting sleepy and ill tempered. An attraction to a bit of rough seems to have been a family failing for granny spent all night dancing with Charlie’s dad and Robert spent the evening with Sarah. SD1 and SD2 sneaked off and misbehaved in a very carnal manner. Judith and Charlie were taken by taxi to the airport and jetted off on their honeymoon. Granny went to bed early and Charlie’s father disappeared about the same time! SD1 was put to bed in the box room and SD2 was put in the 3rd bedroom she soon joined SD1 in the Box room. Robert and Sarah went off to their bedrooms, Robert had the 2nd bed room and Sarah supposedly was sharing the 3rd bedroom with her daughter. However she ended up sharing Robert’s room. …………………….. Meanwhile, in the real world, Robert saved, then copied his story, opened up his Writers’ Web-Site and posted it. Charles Robert (SD) was long dead and Robert a bitter lonely fifty-five year old.
