May's mother worked late every night. Some nights she was home earlier and some nights she was home later. Some nights May was sure that her mother never came home at all.
Sometimes she didn't see her mother for days on end.
It was going to be one of the nights when her mother was home early. That was always a nice change of pace. Or it would be if May could shake this stupid cold, or flu or whatever it was that was affecting her. It was certainly a weird flu, she had been getting light headed and occasional dizzy spells, and she had even been vomiting at times, it seemed to come and go all week but mostly in the morning.
No one knew that she was sick not even her sisters, and that was odd for her, as she had shared a lot with her sisters. The same bed, the same clothes, even the same boyfriends at times when they were desperate.
Sharing so much then it of course would have been natural, almost normal to share the same germs and cold. But that was not the case, medical care was expensive and if she stayed sick much longer then who knew how much she might cost the family?
Contrary to her sister's beliefs she didn't like to take more then her fair share, her fair share just so happened to be the same amount as the other two.
The three girls sat at the small kitchen table with the remains of dinner laid out in front of them. It had been beans and fries and for some odd reason it made May's stomach turn a little, she managed to choke down her portion, if she hadn't then she wouldn't have gotten anything else. What she especially enjoyed was the microwaved peas and carrots. In fact when Lee went to the can and Marie had pushed her vegetables onto May, she hadn't objected as she normally did.
It was weird maybe it had something to do with survival or enzymes or something? Her body telling her to get more vitamins to combat the sickness? She didn't know, maybe she would look it up at the school next week? That was where she got most of her information from, the school computers and library, it was a useful place to go and read and learn about chemistry. Plus it was always a great place to wreck whenever she and her sisters got bored.
The dinner plates were mopped up of all and any leftover residue, waste not want not as her mother would say. Or as Lee put it "Eat up or starve." With those options then it was normal to choose.
The three girls picked up their plates and silverware. It paid to work hard whenever their mom came home early in case one of them snitched on the other two and they all got into trouble. All of their chores from earlier had been done and now it was really only the dishes and pampering their mother. Before the water had even hit the plates a door slammed and a cough hacked through the tiny trailer.
"Girls? Ya here?" A two packs a day voice called from the front. Their mother was actually pretty conscious of how badly the cigarettes smelled, she only smoked outside of the trailer.
'This dump is cruddy enough as is.' Was her logic. The smell still lingered on her skin and therefore followed her into the trailer and attached itself to the furniture, giving everything a nicotine smell.
"We're in the Kitchen Ma!" Lee shouted out huskily, she sounded a decent amount like their mother, none of them knew why she had just always sounded like that. Their mother in all her five foot something glory, with long red hair and devilish glints in her eyes came in with her waitress uniform over her shoulder, she had her house cleaner outfit on at the moment, during the week she had to work in an assembly line on top of everything else. But hey, whatever payed the bills.
Their mom moved over to the fridge and pulled out a can of beer, she leaned against the counter and pulled open the tab. Kicking off her shoes she grinned at her kids. May was washing the dishes, Marie would dry and Lee would scurry around and quickly put them away. It had felt like it had been weeks since they had seen each other and it would have surprised neither group that it very well might have been.
Still her girls could take pretty good care of themselves, evident by the cooking and cleaning. She had noticed that one of them had prepared a plate for her and left it in the fridge to be reheated at her leisure. May had probably prepared it, at Lee's instructions. The redhead was a good leader but embarrassingly lazy, and the blonde while a hard worker was none too imaginative when it came to seeing what needed to be done.
"So...nice day?" Ms. Kanker said to brake the silence.
"It was getting' cold, I need better sneakers." Marie complained drying off some of the forks.
"Well we can look at the salvation army or something I guess." It would be cheaper then paying for the amputation of frostbitten appendages anyway.
"Hey! How come she gets new sneakers but I can't have a new belt Maw?" Lee asked indignantly clattering the forks into the drawer.
" yours is plenty fine." She groaned out. Marie stuck out her tongue at Lee who threatened her with a dented spoon.
"You little freeloaders should try to pick up shifts at the old factory or something, stuff don't come cheap ya know." The three girls nodded, May a tad slower then the other two, she just felt really, really rotten all of a sudden.
"You alright kiddo?" May couldn't figure it out, it felt like some kinda cramp in her gut.
"Yo May maws talking to ya!" She wondered if she had low blood sugar? She was still a little hungry. Maybe a couple of pickles before bedtime?
"MAY!" Lee shouted into her little sister's ear. May yelped and jumper a bit, the plate she had been holding dropped to the floor and smashed into six pieces of varying size and sharpness.
"MAY!" Ms. Kanker shouted in alarm and a bit of frustration, if it wasn't one thing then it was twelve others with these kids.
"S-sorry ma!" She cried out. Her head felt insanely light headed and she grasped the side of their pathetic counter for some balance. The other three women grasped a limb and moved her into the living room. Sitting down on the couch May put her head between her legs and took a couple deep breaths.
"Stupid cold." She muttered under her breath.
"Marie get some water."
"I'm not thirsty." The bluenette replied with a questioning look on her face.
"For her kibble brain!" The girl ran off, if one thing was law it was never disobey ma.
Ms. Kanker felt her youngest daughter's forehead for a brief moment. She wasn't hotter then what was normal. But she seemed off...familiarly off...badly off...dangerously off...
"Aw no. No. NO." Ms. Kanker repeated over and over again looking at her blonde baby girl. Not this, not this of all things. If she had been religious she would have cursed God, Jesus and Satan right then and there, soul be damned!
Standing up she stalked out of the room leaving the three girls alone. Marie handed May a coffee mug filled with water, she took a couple of hesitant sips before nodding her thanks.
"What the heck did you do this time?" Lee said despondently, her mood matching her mothers.
"I... I don't know, nothing I think?" May screwed up her eyes, she couldn't really remember her mother being this angry at her for a while. At that moment their mother came back in with a box that she threw down next to her kid.
"Drink and then piss on that, bring it into the other room once your done." The older girls looked down and then at each other with questioning looks. A pregnancy test? Shouldn't it be a thermometer or something?
May stood up obediently and went into the other room. The rest of the family moved into the kitchen and sat down. The silence went on for a solid minute before Lee stood up and took out their mother's dinner. She placed it in front of her, Ms. Kanker just continued to stare at it not moving.
May joined them two minutes later and placed a stick on the table. The four of them sat in silence, up until Ms. Kanker picked up the test and stared down at it.
She closed her eyes and breathed out through her nose.
"You colossal idiot." She through the stick down and stood up moving over to where May sat, wide eyed and scared, a chipmunk caught in a hawks sight line.
"You colossal idiot! Do you have any idea what you just did?"
"N-no." May stammered out frightened beyond belief.
"Wait wait wait." Lee said looking at the test. "May's knocked up?"
"Who?! Who did this?! Was it that creep down by the public bathrooms?! Who did this to you girl?!"
"Y-you don't know them..."
"Was it some kinda drifter or something?!" May began to cry, little hiccup's with snot leaking out.
"Don't think that'll get you out of this missy." Ms. Kanker hissed into May's flushed face. "Now tell me. Who's. Is. It?"
"Big Ed's!" May shouted before covering her face and bawling her eyes out. Ms. Kanker stood confused. Who was big Ed? Some kinda pedophiliac ice cream man? Her other daughters looked shocked and even a tad envious.
"Seriously?! Ya got one! May you minx!" Marie shouted and gave her crying sister a slug on the arm.
"Jeez louis May, I expected Marie to do this but you? Come on."
"I take offense at that." Marie deadpanned. "Still congrats sis! Now you two are hooked for life. Man when my oven Mitt gets me and mine." Marie trailed off and got a faraway look in her eye, she seemed to drool a little and almost groped the air.
"Am I the only one who doesn't know who this big Ed yahoo is?" Ms. Kanker said indignantly.
"He's May's boyfriend." May gave out a conforming nod lifting her head up from her hands.
"How old is he?"
"Around our age." Ms. Kanker was confused, she hadn't expected that. Maybe he was one of those well off to do kids from that culdesac across the way? Then she got an idea.
"What do you mean around your age?" Lee and Marie shrugged.
"Maybe a year older then the three of us?" Lee guessed it was hard to tell with the nut. Ms. Kanker thought a little.
A year older, a year more mature, that might mean he could be charged with some kinda pedophilia junk. Yeah...yeah. Ms. Kanker began to grin. She grabbed up the test and sat on her haunches next to her still sniffling daughter and hugged her around the head.
"Kiddo you and your sisters get your coats we three are going for a walk."
Ed had just finished construction on his asparagus and green bean house. His Dad's meatloaf and mashed potatoes pyramid might have just outdone him though. Fancy dinner time was always the best. And the best part was that Ed always used his vegetables so that he could store them and not feel inclined to eat them. And Sarah said that he never planned ahead.
"Always three steps captain." He leaned over and whispered into her ear. She merely looked at him questioningly and with disgust. A knock came at their front door and the entire family stopped their chewing and swallowing.
"Is Jimmy early dear?" Their Mother asked Sarah. She could only shrug. The guy always texted before he changed plans. He liked her to know where he was in case of possible kidnappings.
"Ed could you answer the door." Their Dad asked while putting his makeshift toothpick flag at the top of the pyramid. Ed didn't know if this was a ploy so that his Dad could mess with his green bean fence, but he decided to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Shooting up out of his chair he rushed to the door skidding to a stop and leaving tread marks along the floor. Maybe it was Eddy or Edd? The three of them were planning to meet up after breakfast to go to school so maybe they just came early is all.
"Hiya Edd..." Ed stopped when he saw who was at the door. A tall red headed woman with two harpies and May Kanker standing at his door. May looked downright drained. He would maybe have to save her later from the vampires like in Dracula twenty four : The unstakeing!
But until then he was just planning to run and hide under the table.
Slamming the door closed before the devil in woman form could ben reach out and say hello, Ed turned around and ran back to the dining room. His sister gave him a confused look as he flew back in and lunged under the table. He only needed to shout one thing.
"Kankers!" His little sister's face grew pale before she also took up his cry and jumped under after him. Ed covered his eyes and shivered Sarah was right beside him doing the same.
"What are you doing?" Their Mommy said. Ed opened his eyes and looked at her from out underneath the table.
"Kankers and May! Bad for Ed! Danger Danger! The crisis has begun, to the bunker!"
"To the bunker!" His dad shouted from beside him underneath the table.
"Out from under there! Now who was at the door?" with that she stood up and walked over to the front door.
"Don't open it mom!" Sarah shouted flying out after her. Ed and their Dad after the two women. They were too late. The door was open and the family wandered in. The grown up Lee that Ed had never seen before was at the front then her three daughters. May in the middle being supported by the two older siblings. The woman held out a well worn hand.
"MY name is Bebe Kanker." She shook his mom's hand and then held up a weird looking stick that caused his mom to take in a deep breath and look at Dad shocked.
"And we need to talk."
"Connor!" She shouted at their dad. He looked confused and then his eyes widened.
"Not me Rachel!" Their dad shouted defensively.
"No we are here looking for an Ed... Girls what's his last name?" Lee and Marie looked over May's head before shrugging.
"You two really don't know?" Bebe Kanker deadpanned.
"To be perfectly honest it has just never come up before."
"Fine then...simply put you kid" She pointed at Ed. He jumped and grabbed the rails on the banister, ripping a couple out he brandished them like a cross and aimed them in the Kanker's general direction.
"With the power of the anti pit and the lord of blessing bull behind me I remove your power of the dark souls!" Ed shouted his voice ringing with truth and power. The entire hall grew quite. Sarah just turned and began to walk up the stairs, she was wiping her hands clean of this right now. Even if she missed out on Ed getting in trouble, his craziness was simply not worth it.
"Does he do this often?" Bebe asked Rachel awkwardly.
"Every single day."
"Okay back to blackmailing you now." Bebe held up the test again. "Your kid and my youngest, she's just a junior he's...older? Right?"
"Well Ed should have been in senior year...but something's came up and well he needed to stay back a little." Ms. Kanker looked triumphant and she walked into the house.
"Well then. We got a lot to discuss about." Rachel grabbed a hold of her sons ear and pulled him after her into the living room. She sat him down on one end of the room. Marie, May and Lee all sat together on the couch. Ed gave a little wave to May. She smiled and waved back. Bebe and Rachel sat in a couple of chairs and glared at each other. Ed's Dad ran off to the kitchen to brew up some coffee as was his fallback during a crisis.
"I just want to say this pretty straight forward like. I want a good amount of whatchamacallit...restitution and we don't sully your family's good name or take ya to court."
"Well" Rachel began smoothing out her dress with one hand. "I have heard from Sarah on occasion that your girls have violated my sons privacy and been frequent tormentors towards both of my children. I wrote it off as simple 'hazing' just your girls acting out and nothing serious to come from it. Still I think that a court would love to know about your girls past records." Bebe Kanker fumed her teeth sparked as she gnashed them together.
"Your kiddo slept with my underage daughter ya nut. No matter how you cut this, It's gonna end badly for you."
"How do you even know that it's my sons child? Your girl could be lying."
"My daughters don't lie!" Ms. Kanker shouted standing up.
"Well Ed certainly hasn't said that it is his child."
"He hasn't not said that it isn't!"
"Double negatives tricky..." Connor said returning to the room with the coffee.
"Just ask him and I will guarantee what he says." Rachel said with dignity. "No."
"Er...Not yes?" Ed said scared. All eyes turned to him. Bebe with triumph, His parents in shock and anger, May's only in surprise, and perhaps deep, deep down, joy.
"Out of my house. Now." Rachel said rising up.
"No way not yet. I demand you pay us so that we don't have to worry about this alone!" Rachel began to shoo the Kanker family out of her household.
"Half of it is his! Half of it is his!" Bebe shouted in anger pointing at where Ed now stood scared and confused at his mother's anger. The Kanker's were forced out the door and into the night. Ms. Kanker glared at the woman in her house and fancy lighting, with hot and cold running water and clearly scared out of her mind by some trailer trash floozy.
Ms. Kanker turned and stalked away angrily. Her girls right behind her.
"What's your problem?" Lee asked Marie as the two left, her blue haired sister was kicking at the sidewalk angrily.
"I'm just kinda bummed that my oven mitt and I didn't do the nasty first. May beat me at something!" Marie ejaculated angrily. Lee just responded by punching her little sister across the back of the head.
Nazz sat up at her vanity, it was positioned near the window, if she leaned over much like she was doing now she could see the entire neighborhood. Including what was going on at Ed and Sarah's house. The Kanker clan left, Bebe leaving in a huff. Then Lee and Marie arguing about something, and then May, she stopped for a moment and looked back at where Ed and his parents stood in the doorway. She then turned and walked after her rapidly departing family. The blonde scratched her head in confusion.
