All for One
Chapter 1
Once upon a time there was a sane, single and happy private investigator named Victoria Nelson……Not.
Vicky sat at her desk and tried to enjoy a strong cup of coffee with a side of extra strength aspirin.
"Would you two just stop, we really need to get something accomplished today. She glared at the men in the room. Mike was sitting in the chair across from her in a shirt and tie, the tie lowered at the neck, and Henry was behind her stretched out on his art table.
"And I don't care who started it, I'M going to finish it" she snarled. "You'd think since your brothers in law now you'd learn how to get along."
When Mike and Katherine had to forge a marriage license (something that's hard to get when you can't get a blood test) just to marry in a church to satisfy his family, Henry and Vicky decided to do something a little different. They were going to have Father Patrick (and old friend of Henry's) bless their union. They wouldn't be legally wed in most eyes but would be in theirs. Vicky had been willing to just live together but Henry was adamant about a ceremony. Vicky realized it was because he would always be know as the bastard son of Henry VIII that is was so important to him. If they ever did have any children Henry wanted them to be legitimate. The ceremony was set for a week from now and Vicky still had a lot to deal with before then. She had phoned her mom, telling her she was getting married, but not to worry about coming down for it. It was just a simple service in front of a priest and there was no reception. It had taken her over an hour to explain why she wasn't marrying Mike, but Henry, and to convince her mother to just stay home. She had that conversation two days ago and had a headache ever since and Mike and Henry's shooting barbs at each other wasn't helping.
Mike and Henry exchanged a look that said 'ooh, PMS'.
Just then the doorbell rang. Vicky looked daggers at the two men in her life then headed to the door of Henry's condo. She had moved in a few days ago but it still felt like his place to her. Reaching the door she looked through the peephole.
"Oh Crap" and snapped a look at them that said "HELP". Both men were instantly on their feet when she threw the door open.
"Mom, What are you doing here, you said you weren't coming?"
"Hump, my daughter tells me she's getting married and you think I'll miss it? When pigs fly missy." And with that Marjory Nelson walked into Henry's condo and his life.
"Oh crap is right" he thought to himself.
