Author's Note, Ok, so this is part two of my "Fathers and Sons" fic. The more I thought about it I had some loose ends, and I have been spending a lot of time with my sister and had a major idea for this storyline!  Hehehehehehehehehe. It is twisted. Also it's from Hoot's point of view, just to let you know, anyway, review and enjoy.

Tofu.

Veggies.

And that damn Soy Milk.

Since McKnight couldn't keep his cholesterol down, Diana and I suffered under those foods. The woman went insane. She cleaned out the whole fridge and I was eating that shit for the past two months.

It was not BBQ food.

How the hell could you tell when they were done?

Sanderson, Lambross and I were facing this problem. Sanderson rolled the tofu dogs to see if they had split on the grill. Nothing. Lambross looked closely at them, then at me, "Are they done?"

I shrugged and sipped my lite beer, nasty, "How the hell should I know?"

Sanderson looked around the people scattered around his backyard, "Where's Diana?"

"Called in," I told him, "When's your sister supposed to show up?"

Sanderson gave the spatula to Lambross and checked his watch, "Any minute. She wouldn't let me pick her up at the airport."

His sister Jamie had gotten divorced from her husband, a Naval Officer, and was heading down south to visit Sanderson. It'd been a while since he saw his sister or niece.

Lambross smacked the tofu dogs with the kitchen tool, sipped his lite beer, "Why?"

Sanderson rolled his eyes, "She thinks I'm gonna scare her friend away."

Friend?

Lambross and I shared the same look, "I know," Sanderson spat.

"Whom is her friend?" Lambross asked, making a face at the taste of lite beer.

Jose and Sam who were seated close with their girlfriends leaned closer, while they attempted a conversation with the women. Subtle.

"I don't know. The fool is living in North Georgia, he was on vacation or something when they met."

Hmmm, I then asked, "So….what? You gonna allow this man to violate your baby sista? Or ya gonna scare this one off too?"

"What do you think," Sanderson asked me, taking a sip of his Pepsi. Which was looking really good at that moment. Lambross grabbed a knife and began to poke at one of the tofu dogs, "Yo man, fifty bucks says you scare his ass away within….the day."

"A day! Come on, this is Sanderson we're talkin bout here, five hours tops."

Sanderson began to argue with us, then he spat, "Shut up." We all did as Humera made her way over. She sided up between Sanderson and I with her plate, Sanderson kissed her cheek. "I'm hungry…..what are those? Do they have pork in them?"

I patted her butt, "Sugar, those'a tofu."

Humera looked at me, "What?"

I kissed her other cheek, "Xactly."

Humera made a face of disgust, then said, "Well. Give me a hamburger then, love."

Lambross scooped up a Boca Burger, Humera looked at it as he dropped the thing on her plate. I kissed her temple as I spotted Eversman, "Well I'm gonna go mingle with tha Ranger boy."

"Traitor," Lambross told me.

I waved as Humera poked at the Boca Burger with her fork. Less then pleased. I made my way over to Eversman, who had arrived a few months ago with some Rangers for some training and leave. He held up a lite beer in a salute.

"Hey Hoot," he greeted.

I saluted him back with my beer, then asked, "How ya been? I ain't seen ya round that much."

The younger man nodded, "Yeah. I've been out on vacation with the guys. Just got back actually. I picked you and Sanderson up some beach Paraphernalia, and some Navy shirts for your fiancé."

I rolled my eyes, Diana was a pain, but then asked, "You gonna make it for tha weddin?"

Eversman stiffened and all but bowed as McKnight walked by, swearing about the lite beer. At the sight of me he turned, "Hoot! Where's my daughter?"

I pointed my beer in the direction of the hospital, "Got called in. Go have a Tofu dog."

He glared, then muttered something about his doctor switching the lab results on his way to the grill. Eversman shook his head and muttered, "Man. I still can't believe your going to marry his daughter. McKnight's going to be your Father-in-law."

I nodded, "The man's gonna turn me into a drinker."

Eversman looked up at me with wide eyes, it made me laugh, "Damn man, loosen up. Go have another watered down beer. You'll need like eight of em to get drunk."

"Don't you and your men have training tonight?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

McKnight made his way to the grill and Humera began to scold him for the food selection. Sanderson put his beer down, I watched him run over to the back of his house and hug his sister. She was five or six years younger, halfway through her twenties. Pretty. She had his blue eyes and blonde hair, just not his nose, tall too. Her daughter, Lily, only had her eyes. Her hair was dark tight ringlets, her skin was somewhere between brown and white. I had only met her father once, he pretty much said without words he only married Jamie because she was pregnant. Sanderson overheard, and that was the last time we got to see the man.

Lily spotted me, a grin came over her face, and she ran across the yard to me. I gave Eversman my beer and caught the four year old. Tossed her once in the air then kissed her cheek, I put her on my hip and flicked at one of her pigtails. Her mother and Sanderson glanced over at us, Jamie smiled then turned back to her brother.

She gave my cheek and kiss and wrapped her arms around my neck, "Hi Hoot. I missed you."

"I missed you too sweetheart, you gonna come visit me?"

She nodded then looked to Eversman and smiled, "Hi Matty."

Matty?

I looked to Eversman, who smiled at Lily, "Did you see your Uncle yet?"

Oh no. Nooooooo. A sick feeling filled me, "You know Lily?"

Lily nodded and swung her sandaled feet, "Uh-huh, he's dating mommy."

I looked at Eversman, then asked Lily, "Did you visit Auntie Humera yet? Go see her, she's over yonder at the grill." I set Lily down and pointed her towards Humera. I then asked Eversman, "You're datin Jamie?"

Eversman looked over at her and nodded, "Yeah. Isn't she great."

"NO!"

Eversman looked at me, stunned, "What?"

"You have any idea who her brother is?"

Eversman nodded, "She said he lives on base. Why?"

I pointed to her brother, "Sanderson."

It took him a minute to realize what I was pointing at. A horrified look came over his face, "No."

"Yeah," I told him.

Eversman shook his head, "No. No, her brother lives here."

"We're at Sanderson's house!" I shrieked.

Eversman looked over at Sanderson, then back to me. To which I added, "You do realize, she's just been through'a bad divorce? Almost lost'er child? What tha hell are ya datin her for?"

His next answer blew me away, "I love her."

Loved her? "Are you sayin that? Or your dick?"

It suddenly became clear to him, "That's why you, Sanderson, and all those Delta's flew up to Norfolk that weekend."

"You do realize that's his baby sista?"

"Your the ones who beat up her ex?"

I rolled my eyes, "Lets move past that, shall we?" But it was too late, Jamie turned and pointed to Eversman, Sanderson locked his gaze on the young Ranger, I'd seen that look before, "Run," I told Eversman.

Who looked at me, surprised.

Sanderson headed our way, pretty quickly.

"Run," I repeated.

Thank God Eversman listened, I grabbed Sanderson's arm and pulled the knife from his back pocket, "Careful man, there're witnesses."

Whether he didn't hear me or didn't care, he kept running after the young Ranger. Humera yelled after her husband to behave. Like that would happen, but Lambross came over to me, sipping his beer, "What's the problem man?"

I pointed to Eversman as he ducked under something Sanderson threw, "He's datin Jamie."

"No Shit!"

"Oh yeah, it gets better."

Lambross looked to me, "How?"

"He loves her."

Lambross laughed, then watched as Sanderson found a bat, "Looks like we're gonna be making a trip to the E.R. this time."

Yeah, I nodded, "Aight. You go start the car. I'll go make Diana a plate." I headed to the Buffet as someone yelled to Eversman to run faster.
