The Promise part two

"Ohhh Rebecca, I'm sorry little mate, but we can't take everything," he replied as he took hold of her hands. Lets find a couple suitcases and put your clothes in. Then we will go and get a few boxes to ship. We can't ship everything so you will have to pick." Rebecca stood silent as Troy left the room to find some suitcases. He barely got down the hall when Rebecca started to scream. "NOOOO!!  NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!!, I WANT EVERYTHING!!!!! Troy quickly ran back to her room. Stuffed bears, dolls and dishes were flying every direction. Rebecca was in a full tantrum. Troy had never seen such a thing as he dodged flying toys and tried to scoop her up into his arms. She was kicking and screaming and slapping at him as he tried to hold her. "I'm going to drop you!" he stated as he did his best to contain her. "Let me gooooooo. I hate youuuuuu," she replied as her arms flung all around and her feet continued to kick him. Finally he couldn't hold her so he dropped her onto the part of her bed that had lost its share of toys. She continued to kick and scream. Troy watched in amazement as she rolled off the bed and onto the floor. The kicking and screaming continued. He finally just left the room, shutting her door behind him. He carried himself downstairs to the family room where her screams couldn't be heard. He thought about what he had gotten himself into. How could his friend Nick not mention her behavior to him before. He knew his thoughs of the past event were because of what her grandfather had said. Troy couldn't help but think it was more because of the loss of her parents than it was bad behavior. He hoped anyway. It had started to rain and as Troy stood at the window deep in thought, he heard little sniffles enter the room. He turned to see Rebecca standing in the doorway. Troy turned and continued to look out the window. As the minutes ticked away, the sniffles moved closer. He turned to look and Rebecca had moved from the doorway to the edge of the sofa. He again turned back toward the window. The sniffles again became closer, When Troy turned again to look, Rebecca had managed to get herself just a little closer to him. He again turned away. Soon the sniffles were right behind him and he felt her take his hand once again. "I'm sorry," she said, in a very quiet voice. Troy turned to her and knelt to her level. "Rebecca, I know this is difficult for you and I hope that you are sorry. I would never allow one of my children to throw a fit like that. "You won't do that again. Understood?" he stated, as he wiped her tears. I'm trying to be patient with you. Rebecca just shook her head. I think we should stay somewhere else tonight," stated Troy. "I want to stay here,"  Rebecca screeched as she stomped her foot. "Hmmmhmmm," Troy cleared his throat and gave Rebecca a disapproving look. "We just talked about that, didn't we?" he asked. Rebecca again shook her head. I'm sure your room is quite a mess. We need to go get some boxes so we can work on getting it packed tomorrow. You have had a hard day, so we will go get something to eat, get the boxes and then it will be early bed for you. "I go to bed when I feel like it so you can't make me," Rebecca stated. "We have much to do tomorrow. When I say bed, you will obey me." Troy stated in a firm voice. A little lump developed in Rebecca's tummy as his strict words struck her body. He wasn't soft like Daddy. They returned to her room. sorted through the debree, found her some warm clothes and headed out. They went to a nice restaurant, retrieved the boxes and headed back to the house. They compromised with three suitcases full of clothes and decided that Rebecca could send four boxes of belongings to Australia. The rest would be left behind. Troy didn't feel bad. Rebecca had more toys than all three of his kids put together. Making her choose was a good thing, or so he thought. Bedtime however turned out to be easier than he had anticipated. Rebecca fell asleep on the sofa cuddled next to Troy as the watched a little tv. He carried her to her room, turned back the covers and gently placed her into her bed. Troy rose before dawn, showered and mentally prepared himself for the day that was to come. He did hope that things would go much smoother than the day before. Rebecca however had other plans. "Morning Rebecca," Troy stated as she entered the kitchen in her pajamas. "Hi," she replied as she headed for the refrigerator. Troy watched as she opened the freezer door and pulled out the ice cream. She sat it on the counter. Retrieved a bowl and spoon. "Umm Rebecca, you can't eat ice cream for breakfast," stated Troy, as he took the ice cream and returned it to the freezer. Rebecca sat there for a minute and when Troy turned his back, she went to the freezer and snatched the ice cream once again. As she headed back to the counter where her bowl was, Troy stopped her in mid flight. "Rebecca, put the ice cream back," he stated. Rebecca continued in her quest as she dumped the ice cream in her bowl. Troy reached over and took hold of her hands. "We do not eat ice cream for breakfast in my house so you better enjoy that one. It will be your last," he stated. Rebecca was surprised. He wasn't stopping her. Her mother would never let her have that for breakfast. She finished her ice cream and then returned to her room. The next two days went by rather smoothly. Rebecca seemed to be cooperating and Troy was sure it was just her loss that had set the tantrum a couple days before. Today was to be a very busy day. They had packages to ship and things to finish before their flight. They had to be at the airport for their flight which was leaving at 6pm. They shipped the packages and headed back to the house. "Troy. The park, the park," she said as she pointed. Troy looked at his watch and decided they had a few minutes so he pulled in. "Rebecca, we have fifteen minutes and then we must go," he stated as they entered the toys. Rebecca played like she had never been to a park before, but when it was time to leave she wouldn't come down from the top of the slide. "Rebecca, we must leave now little mate," he stated as he stood at the bottom. Rebecca just stared down at him. "Come Rebecca," he ordered, but she remained firmly in place. "Rebecca, now!," he said in a firm voice. NO!!!, she shouted. I'm not ready to leave and you can't make me." stomping her feet twice on the slide. Troy was trying not to get mad, but he didn't know how much longer he could maintain his patience with this disobedient child. Maybe her grandfather was right about her all along. Just then a woman approached him. "Having problems?" she asked as she looked up at Rebecca. "We have to go and she won't come down,"  Troy stated. "When my kids don't obey, I count to three. They know if I get to three and they aren't here, they get spanked," she replied quietly so Rebecca couldn't here her. Troy smiled at the woman and figured it was worth a try. "Rebecca, I'm going to count to three, and if your not down here, then your going to get a spank right on your bottom,"  Troy stated as he pointed to the ground. "Just one spank?" asked the lady. You keep that up and she won't ever obey you," with that she walked away. "One," he counted. "Nooo," yelled Rebecca Troy hadn't noticed, but this little display of hers had started to gather a small crowd behind him. "Two," he again counted. "I"M NOT COMING DOWN!!," Rebecca yelled, as she gave the slide two more kicks. A few more people, along with some of the children gathered to watch. Three!," he said louder, as he pointed to the bottom of the slide. Rebecca sat firmly planted. Troy took two steps toward the slide "I want to play, I want to play,"  Rebecca shouted as she started to kick with all her might. As Troy approached the slide, Rebecca kicked so hard that she lost her grip and slid all the way down right into his tightly gripping hands. The people that had gathered were snickering and clapping. He took hold of her and pulled her from the slide. As he stood her on the ground, he noticed all the people watching. He just couldn't give her a spank, so he took her by the arm and headed for the car. "I don't want to leave," Rebecca cried as she kept letting her legs buckle. Finally Troy picked her up and placed her under his right arm. Kicking and screeching he carried her to the car. She was once again in a full tantrum. Troy now knew she definitely had a bad behavior problem to which there was only one cure. He knew what he had to do if she were to learn to obey him. All the way back to the house she kicked the car and screamed at the top of her lungs. When they pulled into the drive, he had all he could take. He pulled her from the car still screaming and they entered the house. He carried her to her room, laid her on the bed and left her. A few minutes later, he was in the kitchen on the phone with his wife when Rebecca entered. He told his wife that they would see her soon and he hung up the phone. Rebecca stood looking at him, not knowing what to do next. "I, I'm sorry," she sniffled out. "Rebecca, come with me," he stated as he walked past her and entered the family room. Troy took a seat on the sofa and Rebecca walked over to him, not even aware of what was about to happen to her. "Little mate, I'm sorry is not enough this time I'm afraid. You are eight years old and you will not throw any more tantrums. Do you understand?," he asked. Rebecca shook her head. "I love you and promised your parents that I would take care of you. Part of taking care of you is teaching you to be a good girl. If you behave badly then you will be spanked. I promised you at the playground one spank if you didn't come down, but you have earned much more. I have tried to be very patient with you, but you have earned these spanks. Before Rebecca could object Troy pulled her across his knee and held her firmly. Troy heard Rebecca gasp as he did so. "Troy, I'm sorry, I'll be good. I'll be good, ohhhhh" she cried, as she had now found herself in a position she had never been in before. Troy picked up his very large hand and swooped it onto Rebecca's tiny bottom. {spank-spank-spank} Huuuu ooowweeee cried Rebecca as she sucked in a breath, stretched out her arms and let the cries go. {spank-spank-spank} Troy landed three more and Rebecca yelped and kicked her legs as the sting began to set in her bottom. {spank-spank-spank-spank-spank} "Owwweeeeeeheehee"  Rebecca cried as Troy continued to punish this badly behaved child {spank-spank-spank-spank-spank} "Owwee ohh I owwweee sorryyyy," Rebecca yelped as the spanks decended. Troy knew they had a plane to catch so he decided to make sure that Rebecca had something to think about on the seventeen hour flight to her new home. Troy stopped the spanks, reached up and pulled Rebecca's undies down just below her  now pinkened bottom cheeks. {spank} "owweee," yelped Rebecca as her legs began to kick and her arms once again stretched out in front of her. {spank} "Eeeeee," (legs still kicking.) {spank} "Oooohoo,"  Rebecca cried  as the lesson began to set in as well as the stings. {spank} "Noooo hoo hoooo," screeched Rebecca. Troy laid one more swift upturned smack to her two cheeks. replaced her undies, stood her on the floor and marched her to the corner. "Stay," was all he said as he released her. Yelping, screeching and rubbing her bottom, Rebecca obeyed. She stayed in the corner until Troy called her from it. Troy stayed seated on the couch until her cries had subsided. He then called her. Rebecca turned, rubbed her eyes and approached with caution. Troy scooped her up and placed her on his lap and cradled her. Brushing her hair aside and wiping her tears, he spoke. " Little mate. I love you and I'm sorry I had to spank your bum like that. I hope you can learn to be a good girl so we never have to do that again," Troy said. "I, I su su su sorrrryyyyy,"  Rebecca replied, as the hiccupps and tears decended. "I'll be good girl now, I'll be a good girl. She snuggled close to Troy and he held her tightly until she had stopped crying. It was almost 6pm and they had a flight to catch. He carried her to the car and they headed to the Airport. Traffic was good and they  made it  just in time to check their luggage. Troy picked her up and ran for the gate. Once seated on the airplane,Troy looked down at Rebecca, who had tears in her eyes. She was squirming in her seat and silently mouthing the words oww owww owww.
