Sue woke up before the roosters made their morning racket. This was a noise that would then cause the rest of the house to know the day was starting. She knew the house was soon to be bustling with activity, and she had to be awake before the calm of the daily storm that was life on the Ward Plantation. The Big House was not all that big as other houses she knew of, but it still had a tremendous flow of people coming in and out at certain times.

It was Sunday though and she wanted to get to church before the others too. Since Master Ward was gone, the head overseer Mister Jacobs was running the plantation. Not known for his kindness, he was a person who was quick to whip a hand, although he dared not do it to her.

Sue quickly pulled out some leftover cornbread from the pantry as the roosters began waking up the plantation. Sue knew it was going to be an easy day, and easily a few months since the summer heat made the master retreat north to fight the heat and humidity.

With only the master's son to watch over, Sue knew that she should have plenty of time left after church to visit friends on the Smith Plantation a few miles away. Ever since she was moved to the Big House to be a nanny, she had a standing pass to go wherever she wanted to on Sunday.

Walking free on the road with the trees giving her shade, she didn't fear anything as other whites walked and rode by giving her a nod as they knew who she was too. Not much as a strange look happened as the town knew she was free to wander around on Sunday. This always made her feel good as other hands on the other plantations would compliment her on her looks and beauty. It was her day of the week she could feel good about being a woman who could still turn some heads, even if she could do nothing with them.

Susan, or Sue as everyone called her still had her youthful looks for a house slave. At twenty-seven, she knew that she was in her prime and had the other hands always wanting to be with her. Her nicely shaped figure was still there after bearing two children and was always accented by the dresses she wore. Her large chest was always on display, but not as gratifying to look at since her dress covered up most of her cleavage. Her hair was always covered up with a head scarf, but her sleek facial features still had yet to show the wear and tear of age.

She walked up the stairs to wake up Jackson, the owner's son. Jack as she called him was the youngest of four children and the only son that the master had. All of his older sisters were now married with families of their own. Jack stood to inherit the plantation, and all the hands that worked its fields some day.

Sue cared for Jack as if he was her own and had been in charge of him since she was twelve. He was only a crying toddler when she was moved to the house, but she learned quickly to handle him and care for him every minute. Mrs. Ward passed away from the pox when he was three, and Sue was there for him every day after that.

She knew that no boy should be left without a mother and felt as if she was a kind of replacement for his own mother. Her two children were sold off, breaking her heart and it only drove her closer to Jack who did voice his opinion to his father about not doing it. She loved that he had a heart of gold when it came to her even though she knew he would own her one day.

Sue loved Jack's energy, and love of life. He was eighteen now and never lost his youthful spirit, along with his kind and gentle nature. She nurtured his sensitive side hoping it would stick with him for the rest of his life. She felt obligated to him in making sure he was kind and gentle and not like his father. She knew the other hands called his father Mean Massa Ward.

Early on it would seem Sue felt that Jack was the complete opposite of his father, and most of the plantation knew as well. Although he was not as mature as he needed to be for an adult, he joked around and played more than an eighteen year old should. No one on the plantation had a bad word to say about him.

Opening the door to his room, she could see his body still sleeping. Walking over to the bed, Sue knew she was going to have to get him ready quickly and feed him if she was going to be able to leave the plantation after the service to see her friends.

Shaking him from side to side, Sue spoke in a firm tone, "Mista Jack, you bests get out of bed."

"Arrrggghhh! Do I have to?" Jack moaned out with a big yawn.

"Yes, you do. You best get ready in a rush too. I fixed you some cornbread in the kitchen, so gets going."

Sue walked over to the dresser and pulled out Jack's Sunday's best for the service. She giggled to herself as she remembered when he was younger how he would strip the clothes off as soon as he would get home so he could either go fishing or ride with his friends, or some of the plantation's younger hands.

Sue turned around just as Jack got out of bed. She saw his erection swing freely as he slept in the nude last night. Sue got only a quick glimpse but could see that he was well-endowed. Her eyes didn't move and yet her morals felt threatened as she saw he was bigger than any man she had ever seen too. The thought of Jack pleasing some girl or future wife with his massive tool made her blush.

"I be downstairs getting things ready," Sue said as she turned her head so she would not have to see his morning erection so freely displayed.

As she walked downstairs, she heard Eve in the kitchen getting food ready for the overseers. Sue only had to serve and care for Jack, while Eve cooked for the skilled hands and overseers. She walked in the kitchen and saw her cutting up a chicken with vegetables all around her too.

Eve was only a little older than her but had much sleeker features and wore simpler clothes since she was always getting dirty from cooking and straightening up the kitchen. Sue always smiled and greeted Miss Eve as if she was a Great Aunt who looked after her even though the age difference was a few years.

When her two babies were sold off from her own children, Eve was there to help her through the traumatic time. Just the thought of the day she was ripped from the arms of her two children brought tears to her eyes. But it was Miss Eve that helped her recover and make sure she had a nice job being a nanny for young Jack at the time.

"The young Mista up for some church or sleepin in?" Eve joked with a big smile as Sue walked in the door.

"You know Pastor George done yelled at him last week for it. He still be wantin' to be a child with Willy and dem others," Sue joked back as she knew Jack was a kid at heart.

"Well, Willy be tellin' his Mama bout Jack askin' for some advice with girls and things. Seems Masta Ward be not tellin' him bout how a man should be."

Sue gave Eve a look of concern, but also knew that she was right. "Masta needs to be spenin' more time with him. Be off travllin' too much and forgettin' bout his own youngin'."

"Well you best be fixing it, cause Willy be tellin' him some stories," Eve remarked as she continued to prepare the food.

Sue knew that Willy was the same age as Jack and supposed to be in the fields working instead of having fun with Jack. Willy was Nancy's boy and Jack's best friend too. If Jack got in trouble, Willy was always around causing trouble with him.

"Best think he is better hearing it from Willy than his father. Lord only knows what he would be likes if he was around more," Sue replied, knowing that Jack was a sweet, kind person compared to his father.

"Well, bests you fix it, or we might have to deal wit Massa doing it for you."

"Might have to deal with it soon too. Boy be a man now, with MAN parts just aching to be free in the morning." Sue laughed as she thought about just seeing Jack's large morning erection.

Eve turned her head as Sue emphasized man parts. Sue moved her hands to the size she thought Jack was, recalling that he was well-equipped for any girl. She then smirked as she did it making Eve looked flabbergasted. "That big?"

"Boy be as big as a horse."
