Chapter Twenty-five: "you-know-who"

Beka turned the news on as the children went to play in the yard with Tyr, Mikey and Terry. Timothy approached Beka before he went out. He knew she didn't feel to well but still had an important question for her.

"Beka?" He asked quietly. She looked at him. "Are you gonna become mine and Toby's cousin?"

"We'll have to wait and see about it ok?" Beka said.

"Pinky promise on that?" He asked holding his pinky out. Beka smiled and Bosco had the camera out yet again. She hooked her pinky onto Timothy's and kissed the tip of his pinky as he kissed hers. Beka turned the volume up when a small picture of her Uncle Sid came up in the corner of the screen.

"We have just received information on the famous Sid Valentine. We have been informed that he has been arrested after being convicted of conducting the biggest drug scheme in the state of New Mexico. His nephew Rafe Valentine has been arrested as an accomplice. They will both be tried with a jury. We have no news on Sid's niece Rebecca Valentine and if she will have to appear in the court of law."

"Great." Beka mumbled as she went into a coughing fit. She then ran into the bathroom vomiting again. When she walked out of the bathroom she felt ten times better. Well she still had a dull headache but her fever was gone and she wasn't lightheaded.

"Hey, Faith, can you remind me when we get home to get that thing and give it to you-know-who." Beka said getting some water.

"The what for who?" Faith asked.

Beka pointed to Bosco saying "His thing."

"You know how disgusting that sounds?" Doc asked at the door.

"I now understand." Faith said.

"And Doc it's none of your business what they do to my thing." Bosco said.

"Bosco!" Beka and Faith said in unison. Doc threw his hands up joining the younger children and Mikey as Terry and Tyr came in. a few minutes later both Doc and Mikey came running in being chased by Jaime, Jeff, Tobias and Timothy. They hid behind Beka and Faith.

"Uh, huh don't you be hiding behind the weak white girls." Beka and Faith said.

"Y'all aren't weak." Mikey said, "You both could whoop my scrawny white tail."

"True, but we are very temperamental right now." Faith said.
