Don't own it. Glad ya'll seem to be enjoying it. Keep those reviews comin. Thanks for the props on the Firefly quote. Gonna try to throw in a few more. If you don't know what Firefly is but like my writing you have to check it out. Yes it is Sci fi but not too sci fi and the dialogue is amazing. There are no aliens. More of a futuristic western sort of. Hard to classify. It is only one season and you can find it on Netflix. I am a huge fan. Why don't I write Firefly fanfic? Because I believe it is perfect exactly the way it is and I would be too intimidated to do it and I sure as hell wouldn't change anything. Twilight though? Got no problem playin with that obviously.

Chapter 3

Bella POV

"Dad I noticed Newton's Outfitters changed the name of the store. Any reason why?" I was doing my best to make small talk. We had finished our impersonal gift giving since none of us really knew each other that well. Now we were gathered around the kitchen table eating turkey that I saved from overcooking this morning.

"Yeah, matter of fact the Newton's don't own it anymore. Bank took it over and some new owners came in. Some corporation."

"That's too bad." I said doing my best to sound like I cared.

"Not really. Funny thing. Last few years I kept getting these calls from a guy named Leroy Brown. Claimed to be some drug smuggler looking for Mike Newton. After a while I got tired of the sh…crap and decided to go out and see if the Newton kid was involved since these calls seem to be focused on him. So I get a call at 4:30 AM and after I am hung up on, I drive to the back of Newton's looking for this Brown guy. Guess what I found?"

Holy shit.

"Mike Newton giving out coolers of heroin. Apparently he and his Dad were picking it up in Port Angeles off the shrimp boats and hiding it in the back of the store. Been doing it for years. Once a week he would supply local dealers who would take it to Seattle. Allowed the dealers to avoid having to go through the Port of Seattle. I happen to pull up and the dealers take off but Newton really had nowhere to go. They dropped everything so he was stuck holding the bag."

Holy shit.

"Anyway Mike turned on his dad who is now serving twenty years in the State pen. Mike got a reduced sentence and should be out in another year with good behavior."

"No fuckin way." Ty whispered, not quietly enough that Charlie didn't hear.

"Yeah. Always seemed like a good kid. Go figure. I would love to meet this Leroy Brown guy one day. Biggest drug bust in Forks and one of the largest in the State ever all because of his tips. Go figure. Course he is a criminal too I imagine. Still though. Strange world."

No one said anything for a while until Ty of course broke the silence.

"Well damn that was some good food Sue. I usually only eat like that when I am high…" Ty started. I kicked him under the table.

"…on life. High on life and hungry as hell. That's me. Wasn't it good Bells?"

"Great honey." I faked smiled back at my idiot.

"Must be great Bella. You can eat as much as you want and not have to worry about your figure since you are going to be the size of a cow in a few months." Leah suggested.

I gave her my best go fuck yourself smile.

"Yes well, having kids is worth it I suppose."

She returned my go fuck yourself smile and addressed Ty.

"Ty won't it be strange being newlyweds and already having a child? I mean the traditional wedding night lingerie has to be out of the question I would imagine. Or are you two going to wait a year until Bella gets her figure back? I mean if she does?"

"My girl and I sleep naked and she is sexy as hell at any weight, Leah. But I appreciate your concern. I'm a big guy. I can handle anything." Ty told her sharply. That shut her up. Charlie turned red, pretty sure from embarrassment and not anger.

Mike Newton? Really?

"Well Dad we really need to get going. I wanted to show Ty some of the sites and then we apparently have a very early morning flight to Houston tomorrow from Port Angeles."

Dad walked us out and even gave Ty a hug at the door. I think he had come around. It was hard to know Ty and not love him. He just takes a while for some people. Especially when bringing up a daughters sexual proclivity to her father often. We really need to work on that.

"Where to boo?"

"Keep driving down this road. Stop at the high school baby."

"Any reason why?"

"You wanted to know everything. I'm going to tell you everything. May as well do it where it all started for me."

We pulled into the parking lot and he placed the car in park. I shivered a bit when I remembered that van sliding towards me.

"Alright darlin. Let's hear it."

"You'll believe me?"

"I love you. I know you ain't sketchy babe. I'll believe you."

So I took a deep breath and told him. I told him everything. I told him about the Cullen's. The Wolfpack. Victoria, James, Laurent. Edward. Edward leaving. Edward coming back. Edward not leaving me alone. Jake and his…false imprinting. Jasper trying to bite me. I told him about the van nearly crushing me and the near gang rape in Port Angeles. I told him about Edward watching me sleep at night. That was a tough one to admit to.

When I was done I leaned back in my seat and waited for his response. My eyes were closed because I didn't want to see the look on his face. I don't know why. Ty knew me. He would believe me.

I heard nothing. I cracked my eyes and glanced his way. He was staring at me with a straight face. Then he burst out in laughter.

"Bitch you are crazy girl! That's a whacked out story. You should write this stuff down!"

He kept laughing.

"You said you would believe me." I said coldly. I suppose my tone must have caught his attention enough to break him out of his laughing fit.

"I'm…I'm sorry babe. But that is some whacked out shit. I believe you though…"

"Yeah right."

"No I do. I understand what happened. It all makes sense now."

"It does?" I asked doubtfully.

"Of course. It's this skinny bitch Eddie. Probably the whole damn clan. Don't you see baby? He was breakin into your house under Inspector no clueso nose. Probably feeding you Bart Simpsons while you slept."

"Bart Simpsons?" I asked. I knew most of his terminology but he still surprised me every now and then.

"Acid baby. LSD. Think about it. All he needed was to put it on your skin. Once he had you he could whisper in your ear and influence anything. Make you see anything."

"It doesn't work like that Ty. Besides the van he saved me from was not a hallucination. The whole school saw it."

"Baby he probably knocked you under the van. Put his hand up at the last second to make it seem like he stopped it."

"He scared the guys in Port Angeles with a growl."

"Exactly. He shouldn't have even known where to find you. Probably paid those guys to scare you so he could look like the big hero."

"Ty…"

"Bella look. Let's think about this. No fangs? Feeds on animals? Sparkles in the fuckin sunlight? Baby that's an acid trip if I ever heard of one. Who in their right mind would come up with bad ass vampires like that? Those aren't vampires. Those are hippy 1960's vampires. Peace love and Bambi. Scooby Doo should be chasin these fuckers."

"After they left Laurent came back." I pointed out. "The wolves saved me."

"Exactly. You were depressed after Eddie left because of withdrawals. You were bein drugged and didn't even know it. Didn't you say his Momma liked to cook for you? She was dopin you girl. Then when the guy with dreads came back to scare you, you had a flashback. That was the first time you saw the wolves to right?"

"Yes but Ty I wasn't…"

"This explains a lot."

"What do you mean?" I asked offended.

"Baby you come up with some off the wall shit when you are drunk or high. Acid flashbacks. Makes all the sense in the world."

"You said you would believe me." I said through clenched teeth.

"I do. I believe you believe everything you just said. I believe I need to kill his ass for doin that to you. But I got to plan this shit right. We got a future. I ain't goin down for murder and leaving you a broke single mom. I got friends who know people who know about this stuff. Let me make some inquiries when we get to Houston. I'll get this fucker baby but we gotta be smart about it."

"Ty…"God how to do this? Then it hit me.

I told him to start the car and we drove towards La Push.

"Where the hell we goin baby?"

"I'm going to prove to you that I wasn't drugged. That what I said was true. Its bullshit that I have to but fine, whatever."

"Darlin don't be like that…"

"Shut up Ty. You're going to feel pretty stupid for doubting me."

"Baby…" he tried to put a hand on my leg. I slapped it off.

He stayed silent for most of the ride. As we turned into La Push he finally spoke.

"Darlin why don't we just go back to the hotel and celebrate the rest of Christmas in bed. We left your Daddy's without dessert. We could try to find a convenience store, I could buy some whip cream and eat your sweet pussy all night."

Damn. That did sound nice. But we had to do this first. He had to understand the danger.

"In a minute."

"Like in a minute meanin later or like in 60 seconds?"

Ignoring that I directed him to pull into Sam's driveway and backed in so the car faced the road.

"What are we doing baby?"

"Take out your gun and unload it."

"Why?"

"Please?"

I watched him do as I asked. I took his gun and placed it in the glove compartment.

"What the fuck girl?"

"Leave the doors open and the engine running."

I walked towards the porch and Sam was already there smiling.

"Hi Bella. Tyrone. Merry Christmas. I wasn't expecting you. Uhh, Jake is inside Bella."

"Call me Ty."

"Sam I need to speak to Paul alone."

"Why?" Sam asked instantly alert. He knew no one but Rachel voluntarily talked to Paul.

"It's important. It involves food and money. Please ask him to come outside and give us a moment."

Paul was out the door before I finished the sentence. Sam looked at me suspiciously but then walked inside.

"What is this I hear about food and money?" Paul asked.

"I was wondering if Rachel had come to terms with your small penis yet?" I asked him.

"Like you would know Swan. I wouldn't give your pale ass the time of day." He replied irritated. Okay. Good start. Now to skip the middle and go for the big finish.

"You are such an asshole. I can't believe you did this to Jake! He is too innocent for this!"

I slapped him. Hard.

He started shaking. There it is.

"Back up Ty."

Sam ran outside and tried to grab Paul. It was too late. Ty and I backed up halfway to the car when Paul's big silver ass went furry.

"What the fuck?" Ty yelled.

"Time to go darling." I beat him to the car and hit the gas as soon as Ty was in, not waiting for him to close the door. I hit ninety driving out of La Push. We were in the hotel parking lot before Ty said a word. Until then he just kept opening and closing his mouth.

"What the fuck was that!?" He finally yelled.

"An acid flashback." I replied calmly.

"No that was a big fucking wolf! Just like the one I shot last night!"

"Jake." I told him.

"Jake? Obsessive Jake? That was that wolf last night? Did I kill him?"

"No. You shot him in the ass six times."

"Only six? Damn I unloaded a clip into those woods. Lucky bastard better be glad I was drunk. Holy shit. Damn. I mean what the fuck?"

"You believe me now?" I hoped.

"Yeah. Yeah let's go inside."

I followed Ty into our room.

"I'm really sorry. I never wanted you to find out about…" he lifted me up and kissed me. I kissed him back. Hard.

"I need to think baby." He whispered.

"Okay."

"How do I do my best thinkin?"

"By making love to me." I whispered and kissed him again. He dropped my jeans and I grabbed his belt. It was true. I pretty much fucked him through Physics. That was my A as much as it was his. I had him out and he lifted me up with his hands under my ass. I didn't know if I was completely ready but I had better be…

"Fuck!"

I threw my legs around his waist and my arms around his head and held on.

Yeah he was in. Shit…okay. Now I found a rhythm… damn he threw me against a wall.

"Ahhh"

"Quiet baby I'm tryin to think!" he roared. My back was going to be sore.

I bit his neck to keep from crying out. I really didn't want Charlie or his guys getting called to a noise disturbance from our room.

He finally dropped me on a mattress but he didn't give me a break. He just kept going. Then he did it. He worked his hands on…and then…right there…yep…lower…now flick and

"Fuck!" I screamed.

He released inside of me when he felt me come. God I loved how he could time that. Basketball wasn't the only thing he was an all-star at. He collapsed next to me and we lay there, our naked sweat covered bodies sucking in huge amounts of air. At some point he had worked his pants off and ripped my shirt and bra off of me.

After our breathing had calmed down and we were in rhythm together I lay my head on his chest.

"I got it. I figured it out." He said quietly. I wasn't surprised. He figured out Schrodinger's Equation for his midterm after we fucked like this. He did his best work on the court and on the bed.

"What did you figure out?" I said trying to not moan from the soreness.

"Shit I forgot to lube you up didn't I baby? You alright?"

"Yeah. What did you figure out?"

"This Victoria bitch ain't after you."

"What are you talking about?"

"He say anything to you last night about this bitch?"

"No." I admitted.

"Exactly. He didn't say shit because there wasn't shit to be said. If she was after you he would have told you. Hoped you would ask him for help. This shit didn't come up till he found out we was getting married and you are knocked up. It's his last ditch effort. He doesn't come to you so you can call him on his bullshit. He comes at me. This bitch ain't comin after you. She could have at any time over the years. Ain't like either of us was hidin. He is just making this shit up so you will think you need him."

That did make a certain amount of sense.

Yeah. It did. Wow. I felt relieved. I felt sore. Sore and relieved.

"We need to get to sleep baby."

"It's like 7 boo. I'm thinking I'm gonna bathe you and see if we can't shoot for twins."

"Doesn't work like that Ty."

"We can pretend it does. I'm wanna take my tongue, spread your pussy lips and massage that sweet thing with my tongue to make up for the poundin I just gave it."

I lay there and debated going to sleep or continuing to prepare my white girl snatch for Ty the thirds arrival by going at it again when a knock interrupted my thoughts.

"Think the neighbors complained?" Ty chuckled.

"Bella could I have a word?" Sam asked from outside.

"No. It's just Sam."

"Damn. I left my gun in the car too."

"It's okay. He just wants to tell you the importance of keeping the secret. Pretend you're interested and that you actually know someone who would believe you and will keep it a secret. Makes him feel better." I whispered.

"Hold on a minute Sam!" Ty yelled at the door.

"What are you doing?"

He grinned and his face dropped between my legs.

"Apologizing to your pussy darlin. He can wait."

Donna's POV

What the hell have I gotten myself into? I watched her and her husband get out of the cab. He was dressed normally. Like a white boy would dress for a Mens Warehouse commercial. She was wearing some sort of dress. Looked tribal. Long and flowing, bright green with some sort of red lines dancing all around. Who the fuck was this woman?

Oh damn, her kid done had on a dress just like hers. Bella said he was a boy. Two years old he would be. He looked like his Momma. Long flowing blonde hair. That little boy needs a haircut.

I opened my door hopin this bitch got lost in our neighborhood and I could send her as back to Austin immediately.

"Happy Kwanzaa! You must be LaDonna!" she said opening her arms for what I guess she thought was gonna be a hug. She was gonna be sorely disappointed.

"You Renee?" I asked doubtfully.

"Yes I am sister. It is so good to meet you. I have heard about Ty all these years. Now I get to meet my new son and new sister."

"Ty ain't got no sister. My name is Donna by the way. Ain't all black folk got La in front of their names."

"Be nice Momma." My boy Jeff whispered from inside. He was my only other child and Ty's half brother. At 16 he was also the voice of reason in my house. Course he thought white girl was hot as hell. I suppose he'll be wanting one for himself one day. Maybe this experience will change his mind.

"Well come on in, before the neighbors see." I stepped aside and the guy introduced himself as Phil. The little boy was looking around and seemed confused. I had a feelin that was a permanent look for him.

"Why is your boy wearing a dress?"

"Momma!" Jeff whispered sharply. I ignored him. I wanted to know why this long haired toddler was wearing a fucking dress.

"Oh that is a traditional Kwanzaa robe. But you would know that."

"No it isn't."

"Momma!"

Fine. Renee persisted.

"I am pretty sure it is. Even though he is only two I believe that planting a firm foothold in spirituality at a young age can only benefit Osiris as he grows in this world."

"Oh. Alright…wait what did you call him?"

"His name? Osiris."

Uh huh.

"You got a nickname for him?"

"No. Just Osiris." Renee told me, still smiling.

"I'm Jeff, let me show you to your room. I understand you will be staying with us?" My boy always was the polite one. I wanted to run this crazy bitch out of here.

"That would be wonderful if there is room."

"Plenty of room ma'am."

"That is so great. I need to find a place to set jup my crystals and then we can all commune with each other. Get the familial groove going as your people say."

"My people?" I asked to be clear.

"Yes. Isn't it wonderful? Our people now. I am so excited to be a part of the struggle. I had no idea when Dr. King said he had a dream that my daughter would be included."

"She ain't. What the hell are you talkin about with crystals?"

"Oh, wherever I go I take these crystals to clear the air of any lingering negative spiritual auras. You would be amazed where they can be found. Even in the most happy of places. I found one in Disney World once. So I set up a perimeter wherever I take Osiris. Phil could you place his meals in the refrigerator?"

"Yes Renee."

What the fuck?

"What's wrong with him? He got diabetes or something?"

"No. I have meals prepared for Osiris at a natural food place in my neighborhood. I mean a hood. Yes that's what I mean. He has a special diet to awaken his senses to the world around him slowly."

"I see…" This bitch was a lunatic.

"Did you feed Bella this crap too?" Renee actually laughed. I guess she thought the possibility of my grandson bein around her brand of crazy was funny.

"No. Bella always cooked for the two of us until I met Phil and she moved. She was 17 at the time. Phil played baseball for a career and I wanted to travel with him so Bella moved to Washington to live with her father. Until then she was my centering force. Phil is now."

"Centering?"

"Yes. She cooked the meals even though they weren't natural. She paid the bills. Really took care of everything while I traveled my spiritual path. I am hoping that one day she can travel her own. She isn't a very spiritual person though. I feel I may have hampered that, although I did my best to get her interested and open her mind. She is too much like her father. Not that it is a bad thing. Anyway, here we are. I was hoping to meet Ty's father. Where is he?"

"In prison for murder." I told her bluntly.

"I see. Phil could you bring me both sets of crystals? I'm going to need all of them."

Ty POV

The plane touched down and I felt better immediately.

"Damn it is good to be back in the workin man's city."

"Working man, Ty?" Bella asked grinning.

"Yep every Texas city got its own personality. Kinda like a big family. And like a family they all a bit different. Houston is the brother who just got off work from the oilfield and still got that black grease on his hands. The workin man."

"Do tell. What about the other cities?"

"Why? We gonna live in Houston."

"I want to know. Tell me." She gave me that look I can't resist and wrapped both her arms around mine.

"Alright. Which ones you want to know about?"

"Austin."

"That's the hippy brother that smokes way too much."

"Dallas?"

"Dallas is the sister from the sticks that married money and wants to act high class now but everybody knows different."

"San Antonio?"

"That's the Tejano brother that cruises in the low rider and drives his car way to slow and plays his music way to loud. You know he shouldn't be dressed like that cuz he is old but everybody looks the other way.

"Uhh…Fort Worth. Same as Dallas?"

"Hell no. Fort Worth is the cowboy brother who always talks about cowboys. Thinks the whole damn world revolves around cows. Walks to the table still wearin his spurs and wants everyone to know it."

"Hmmm what about El Paso?"

I had to laugh. I was there one time on a summer road trip.

"That's the shady brother you keep expectin to get arrested or shot any minute. Come on Boo. We need to get off and go see Momma."

"What hotel did she set us up with?"

Damn it.

"Uh…"

"It's cool if we have to find our own. I just thought she said she took care of…Ty what hotel are we staying at?"

"Ain't a whole lotta rental cribs around where I live. Least not that rent by the day and not the hour."

"Ty…"

"It's only for a few days."

"Ty!"

"Bella calm down. It gonna be alright."

"I'm not getting off this fucking plane." She told me, no longer wrapped around me. Now her arms were crossed and she had that determined look like that time I asked her if she ever gave any thought to openin the backdo…

"This is bullshit. She plans to torture me for how long Ty? She may have you snowed but she hates me. She hates me and I won't do it."

"She don't hate you…"

"Chitlins Ty? I googled it. Are you for real?"

"Baby I promise no Chitlins. Now the flight attendant is lookin at us funny. We need to go before Homeland Security comes alright?"

She stood up and grabbed her bag from the overhead compartment but she didn't say another word. Not a word at baggage claim. Not a word in the Taxi. Not a damn word.

We pulled up in front of Momma's house. I had texted her we were nearby. Gonna have to have a difficult talk with Momma. I hated it but Bells was my lady and I knew Momma was gonna try to fuck with her.

Momma was waiting for us at the door. While I paid the taxi I turned and saw something I never thought I would see. Momma was hugging Bella.

"Damn it's good to see you Bella. You have to come in and help me with this woman!"

Maybe they would get along after all.
