Chuck’s baby grows up

“I’m not ready for this.” Chuck said to Annie, his sister-in-law, and wife of his younger brother. “Well get ready,” Annie stated matter of factly “She’s growing up.” Chuck rubbed his hand over his unshaven chin and sighed deeply.

“Damn, Annie, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout bras, boys, and such bullshit.” Annie looked sympathetically at her brother-in-law. She felt his pain and understood about a single Dad trying to raise a blooming adolescent girl. She had been there with him through the breakup, she offered him assurances that everything would be okay when his wife ran off with another man leaving a nine year old daughter behind and him practically bankrupt. She was there for him during those first months of self-destructive binge drinking and suicidal nights. She had married Chuck’s brother Boots, but she always had a huge crush on Chuck. He had gotten his life together after those first six months of dropping out. He had gathered himself, sobered up, and gotten his on-line business back on track. She had stepped in and taken on the task of making sure that Britney had a “normal” life without a live-at-home Mom. She did the job of “girl-talking” Brit through her first period. She had to smile thinking about Chuck calling her in a panic when Britney started her period. She came over with the necessary materials and had her talk with her neice about the passing into puberty. Chuck was facing a whole new era now, his baby girl, whom he was now Mother and father to, had just ‘bloomed’ and required a bra. It totally blew his already muddled mind.

“Annie, I really think she needs to be with you and Boots.” Chuck said in desperation. “I am a guy and guys don’t know what to say or do when their little girls have problems or questions about things.” Annie reached over and touched his hand. “Chuckles,” she said using her nickname for him “She is where she needs to be. She would be so unhappy thinking that you threw her away.” Chuck recoiled “Oh, fuck, Annie, you know that’s not at all what I am saying. Don’t even suggest such a thing. Christ, I love her more than life itself. It’s just that I feel so unprepared for all of this.” Chuck was visibly upset. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Annie spoke quickly holding Chucks arm as she spoke. “Look Chuck, your little girl is growing up. She’s getting a cute little figure, and whether you want to hear it or not, she is becoming a young woman. When she was trying on clothes today, I noticed she has a patch of pubic hair as bright red as her Mama’s hair was. She’s getting really beautiful Babe, so try to enjoy this process.” Annies words were both comforting and terrifying to this father of one. His ex-wife had been the light of his life, she was his life and when she took off with another man leaving him a hand scrawled note telling him to ‘fuck off, loser’ his world came to a crashing end. His recovery was slow and painful, mostly aided by the love and understanding given to him by his brother and his beautiful sister in law. Annie was slender with nice perky breasts, a cute ass and gorgeous flowing strawberry blond hair. She had freckles which Chuck adored and given the opportunity he would have tried to see if they were everywhere on her body, but he idolized his younger brother and would never have done anything to jeapordize their relationship.

“Well, I guess there’s not much I can do about it.” He said in a surrendering tone “I just will have to lock her in a closet until she’s thirty.” Annie chuckled approvingly “Be sure to get her a dildo.” she joked “Oh, Fuck, I wasn’t even thinking about those kind of problems” Chuck gasped as he allowed his mind to wander. “Well, think about it, she is, I think she may havee found her tweedle.” Annie joked “Listen, she is going to be fine, and so are you.” Annie assured him. “Remember, I’m a phone call away, and if you ever need anything…and I do mean anything.” she said as she hugged him close and whispered in his ear, “Call me.” with that she walked to the front door and hollered up the stairs to her niece. “Thanks for letting me take you shopping, Sweetie.” Britney appeared at the top of the stairs wearing one of her new outfits. Her newly supported breasts stuck out like beacons causing Chuck to gulp. He looked at her with new eyes. His little girl had become a woman overnight. He didn’t see it coming. He had been so busy expanding his internet business into a new line of service materials for the construction industry to add to the safety equipment business he had successfully built, that he paid little attention to her. Now he had a whole new set of challenges ahead. He hoped he was ready.

Briney bounded down the stairs to give her aunt a hug. “Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.” she bubbled over as she embraced her aunt. “I am so glad we went. And thank you for talking with me about, you know, stuff.” she said with a wink of her beautiful blue eye. Annie winked back, “Anytime, Kiddo.” she said as she gave her niece a peck on her soft dimpled cheek. “What Stuff?” Chuck asked only to be poopooed by the ladies as Annie walked out the door.


“Girl stuff,” his auburn haired princess said sticking her tongue out playfully as she ran back to her room. “Shit, I sure hope I’m ready for this.” Chuck thought aloud as he returned to his office to get some work done.



Chuck hadn’t even realized that the day had slipped away and night had fallen. His eyes burned from the constant exposure to the computer monitor. He heard the TV in the family room and found Britney watching a sitcom that had far too adult situations for her to be watching. “Hey, turn that crap off.” he said picking up the remote as he searched for a more appropriate offering. “Daddy,” Brit objected “I was watching that.” he dismissed her objection and asked if she was hungry. “I could eat, I guess.” she said and with that they went out to their favorite ribs place for dinner.

“What did you and Annie talk about today?” Chuck started the conversation, still curious about what ‘girl stuff’ meant. “Oh, you know, clothes, what everybody is wearing, how things are going at school.” Brit answered, not really answering the question to Chuck’s satisfaction. He knew there was a deeply guarded secret cache of information that women only shared with their kind and he craved an entrance into that fold.


As they left the resaurant Chuck looked at Brit’s body for the first time in a long time. She was 13 now and her butt was definitely cuter than when she was all legs and arms a few months ago.
