CtM 100 Word Challenge

I don't know if this Challenge still exists but I leave it here anyway.

Cold. The time was short, it was morning and soon there would be children awake.Patrick unbuttoned her nightgown, kissing her everywhere. She moaned as she felt his mouth on her skin until… “Atishoo!” When she opened her eyes, he wiped from his face the remnants of her sneeze. "I'm sorry!" I’m so sorry!” She caressed his face, she was full of shame, but he laughed, resting his face on her chest and she laughed as well. “If you have a cold I suppose you're going to need a good doctor" he said kissing her again, ready to give his wife the best of remedies.

Call The Midwife 100 Words Challenge

I was going to wait, but I had to join the fun. Thanks to @my-little-yellowbird for reading. As of now I am focusing on one central theme and I am sticking to the 100 words as my personal challenge.

Smiling Shelagh straightened the mussed up sheets. Her training demands tightly pulled sheets and perfect corners. She pulled up the duvet and smoothed it out.  It seems that most days start with both Angela and Teddy in the bed leaving it most untidy.  On weekends when they were in less of a hurry, Patrick would often tickle Angela and rub his whiskers on her belly.  Her giggles could be heard throughout the house.  Soon Angela would squeal, “Teddy too!” Gentle Patrick would blow on their son’s belly and baby giggles to soft to fill the house would fill their hearts.

Call the Midwife 100 Word Challenge 2017: The Christmas Tree

Timothy was sitting in the living room reading a book while Shelagh played with Angela that December afternoon when Angela exclaimed “I think we should get a sliver tree!”

“Sweetheart we get a real Christmas tree every year and they don't grow any silver trees silly girl” Shelagh replied

“Where did you get such an idea?” she added

“Timothy” Angela answered

Shelagh turned and looked at Timothy who looked up at the mention of his name.

“Really, you used Angela to try to get an artificial tree this year?” Shelagh asked him

“It was worth a shot” he told her

I was only going to do one this year, but then I didn’t think I could bear to disappoint @alice1nwond3rland . So here’s my response to my own question about Shelagh’s childhood dreams. (I’d love to see a fic with her dreaming of being the next Vera Lynn, though. hint hint)

Mama’s face softens when the nurse is here.  I hide in the doorway and watch them together.   Mama won’t let Da do such things, even Nan isn’t allowed.  Mama looks so brave when she whispers with them.  She worries about them.

With the nurse, Mama doesn’t have to be brave. The nurse’s touch calms her, there is no sadness.  For that moment, Mama isn’t dying.

Mama knows I’m there in the shadows. She smiles and calls to me, her voice a low hush.

The nurse hands me the sponge.  I reach for Mama’s hand and try to bring her peace.

I don't mind, I will continue to write because I loved learning to do short things :)

Goldfish. When Shelagh saw Trixie at her door, she laughed. She was anxious to get marry but she would miss the surprise visits of her friend who came to make-up, comb, and give her fashion advice.She had fun being the Trixie’s doll. “I brought you a gift.” She was shocked when she saw a goldfish in a bag full of water. “Surely you remember a certain conversation that we had around the little fish.” That night, Shelagh laughed remembering her friend, while she feeding Patrick, her goldfish.

Today begins the spring in my hemisphere and although it rains a lot and it is not an ideal day, I wrote about a picnic.

Spring. Once she surprised him with a camp. Things did not go very well, but he did not forget her beautiful gesture.Time passed and he has the opportunity today to thank her.

Now he looks at her, sitting on a checkered tablecloth in a park, eating sandwiches and laughing with her children under the first spring sun.He knows that she is still surprised by his spontaneous invitation to miss school and work and that the blush on her cheeks is not only because of the rose he gave her but because of the kiss they shared.

She is happy, she shines in spring.

Certain.

“I know you so little but I couldn’t be more certain.”

The words came to his head, words heard long ago, while he watched his wife sleep, exhausted after giving birth to their son. Years ago he had thought that Shelagh was brave in saying those words. Then he saw her being brave many more times, but never like this day.

“I know you so little but I couldn’t be more certain.”

He did not want to stop looking at her, but he closed his eyes, grateful that she was certain that time, and every time.

It is a bit cliche to say that I'm Argentine and I like tango but yes, it is one of my passions and I hope someday to dance with someone like Patrick. So here a silly thing.

Dance. It was a joy to know that he liked to dance. She always wanted to do it but she did not have anyone, and in these days of courtship he was teaching her. Tonight the record he put was different. “Tango?” He nodded. “Where did you learn?” He did not answer, only pulled her close and squeezed her tightly to his body. His hand on her waist burned, and he lowered it to her hip to make her turn.His steps carried her flying and in a complicated figure he brushed his ankle with hers. He never touched her like that before, and she never imagined that a dance could give her so much pleasure.
