Office Hijinks II Ch. 11

Stephanie sat in her cube with her head in her hands. Her mother had been calling twenty times a day since the Morelli Incident as it was called. She was crying 'Why me?', 'What will the neighbors say?', 'How will you get Joseph to marry you now and have babies with you?'. Steph was done. She was going to get her mother, Helen, back. She called Tank and asked to borrow Lester, Hector, Cal, Zero, Vince, Woody, Manny, and Zip. He gave the go ahead so she called all the guys and told them that they were invited to her parents for dinner that night but that she was going to cause trouble so beware. After getting yeses from all, she called Helen to tell her.

"Plum Residence. Helen speaking."

"Hi mom, I'll come to dinner tonight. I have some news and I'll be bringing eight guests."

"Eight, what will be the Joseph and the neighbors think?"

"Don't worry about that mom. See you at six."

Steph hung up and went to the craft store and bought a pack of plastic golden rings.

5:30 PM

Steph met all the guys in the garage near the SUVs; she gave each a hug and a plastic golden ring for their left hand ring finger. She didn't answer looks or questions. She didn't explain at all. They left twenty minutes later for the Plum house using two SUVs. Her mom and grandma were waiting outside for them all but Steph still didn't explain as they all went in and sat down. Grandma made sure to sit between Lester and Manny even though Steph told her to behave. Dinner started and dishes were passed, finally Helen couldn't take it any more.

"Stephanie, now that we're all served, what's your news?"

Steph winked at all the guys and said the words that would shake everything up, "Mom, Grandma, Daddy, I got married. These are my husbands."

Helen took a deep drink of wine as Frank winked at her and Grandma laughed heartily, "Stephanie, you're engaged to Joseph. Besides you can't marry eight men."

Steph smiled broadly, "In Utah you can. These are my husbands, Lester, Hector, Cal, Zero, Vince, Woody, Manny, and Zip. I wanted to marry Hal too but he married Cindy Lou last night. I also wanted to marry Junior but he married Margaret in Hal and Cindy Lou's double wedding. Oh by the way, I'm pregnant and I don't know which guy is my babies' father. Although, the doctor said that since its triplets, they could each have been fertilized by different men. I sure hope so."

Steph had to stop at that point cause Helen passed out, fell from her chair, and hit her head. Frank laughed, "I guess I need to take her to the hospital. I'll tell her it was all a dream. I'll also tell her no more Morelli."

Grandma was laughing and clapping her hands, "I'm coming with you Frank."

They left and Steph looked at the guys, all of them sitting with their jaws dropped open.

I sighed and shook my head, "I was kidding guys. I'm not married and I'm not pregnant. Relax."

She watched as it was too much for Manny and Cal and they hit the floor. The other guys picked them up and they all left for Rangeman.

The Next Day

Helen woke up and realized that she couldn't remember going to bed the night before.

She shook her husband awake, "Frank, I had the weirdest dream about Stephanie marrying eight men and being pregnant with triplets. I also don't recall going to bed."

Frank pulled her down and cuddled her close, "Don't worry about it honey. It was just a dream. Besides, Steph is going to be with Ranger."

Helen sighed, "What about Joseph?"

Frank looked down at her, "He's not good enough for my pumpkin."

"Ok, I'll cross him off the list. We want the best for our youngest."

Frank kissed Helen's forehead, "Indeed we do, dear, indeed we do."
