Chapter 5
(Rangers POV)
Driving back to RangeMan, I was exhausted from a day of home tours and inspections. All I wanted to do was make sure control was ok and collect Steph so she and I can have a nice shower and Dinner.
When I parked the Turbo I saw Brown and Santos in the garage. Coming up on them I saw they looked haggard. When they saw me they both turned to get onto the open elevator car.
"Brown, Santos" I called to them and they stopped in their tracks
"Sir" they both said not meeting my eyes
"Report" I asked and they looked at each other causing me to know something was going on
Neither one of them said a word to me I was getting angry. I was too tired to play their shit. I took Santos by the shirt and hauled him to me.
"Talk now" I said but he looked away from me and that really pissed me off
"Santos, I swear to God you don't tell me what's going on I'm going to snap you like a twig" I say and Bobby speaks up
"Its Stephanie Sir" he said and I drop Lester to the ground thinking something was wrong with my wife
"Please just listen" Bobby asked me
I stood there and listened to my men tell me how a tyrant my wide had been. How she mowed over Hal and Tank. How she assaulted Conroy and sobbed in the truck with Santos. I assured them id get to the bottom of her behavior and that it would never happen again. I rode up to five and check Stephs office finding it empty. I looked around and saw all my men with their heads down and their legs crossed.
"Babe" I said and shook my head
Riding the elevator up to 7 I let myself into the apartment. I went into the kitchen for a drink when I saw a pale purple box torn on the counter. Picking it up I read the word MIDOL for relief of cramps, bloating, and fatigue.
"AHHH, so this is what's messing with you" I said tossing the box into the trash. My mystery solved
Making my way to the bedroom I slowly open the door incase a shoe came flying at me. What I did see made me laugh. My wife was dressed in my sweat pants, my t shirt, her hair all tousled, with candy wrappers, tastykake wrappers, and a cord coming from her stomach all curled up into a fetal position. Moving to the bed I saw she was asleep or more than likely in a sugar induced coma. Cleaning the wrappers off the bed I climbed in with her.
"Ranger?" she asked coming awake
"Yes Babe" I said kissing her head and taking her heating pad away
"Nooooo I need that" she whimpered protesting
"Shhhhh Babe" I comforted as I slid my hand into her pants and massaged her
"So when did you actually start?" I asked
"About an hour ago as I lay here eating my candy" she told me then looked at me in horror
"How did you...."
"I saw the Midol box on the kitchen counter"
"Ohhhhhh" she said
"Babe you really went thru my men downstairs. They are all shell-shocked" I tell her silently laughing that my little wife took down a building of big strong men
"I know and I'm very sorry. Ohhhhhh that feels good" she says lying back in my arms as I continue to massage her
"Steph I know what happened and in all fairness I can't have you treat my men like that. I depend on them and also they can't help you if they are scared of you, so until your done being this way I don't want you to work" I tell her
"Well at least your good for something" I hear her say looking up at the ceiling
"What?" I asked
"Nothing" she says and kisses me
"Steph why didn't you tell me you were cycling?" I asked her
"Well it's nothing to you, it's a woman thing. I knew after we have been married for a while you'd catch on to the timing but just not the first one. It's embarrassing" she said
"Babe we are married now. What happens to you happens to me. I want to share anything and everything. Ok?" I tell her
"Everything?"
"Everything" I tell her kissing her sweet lips and running my free hand over her cheek
"We can't" she said
"Why not?" I asked
"Because, you know" she said going red
"Like I told you before it won't stop me from wanting to be with you" I remind her
"Really?" she asked
"I don't mind if you don't" I tell her as my mouth claimed hers in a passion filled kiss
THE END???
