B stands for …
"I will follow ya until ya love me, Rem, Rem, Remy LeBeau …" Bella Donna sang in the shower at her antebellum period home to relax after a long day of assassinating people when she received a knock on her door.
"Who te hell dares ta interrupt me whilst I'm bathin'!" Bella threatened gently pulling back the shower curtain.
"Bella it's me, Julienne."
"Didn't our father put ya on tat second rate assassin team, te Rippers?" (Note for this story Julienne's and Bella's dad is not a ripper) , "Or did ya come here ta get a look at ya sister?"
"No, I came here wit some imformation tat I thank even you would like ta here."
"Tis better be good little brother or I'ma gonna come out tis shower an castrate ya!"
"It's bought Remy. Ya remember him don't ya?"
"No need ta sound jealous an wat about my fianse tat ya wanna disclose ta me?"
"He's here in te city."
"Really, where!" Bella asked fully interested now.
"I'll tell ya fer a kiss Bells."
"Julie how many times do I got ta tell ya. I-DO-NOT-SLEEP/DATE/KISS AND-OR-MARRY-FAMILY!"
"Bells don't be tat way." He said stepping closer.
"Take another step closer an I'll have ya killed." She said reaching her head around the curtain. He watched as her heavy blonde hair clung to her face and her sea blue eyes turned to ice.
"Fine, I'll tell ya anyway. Bobby called an told me he at te family house."
"Goodie!" he watched as her eyes melted and a smile tugged at the corner of her perfect lips.
"But, Bobbie also says tat he brought a femme wit 'em. He says he thank Remy's serious bout tis one." He said mentally hoping Bobby was right. He knew Bella was his sister, but he loved her dearly, he always had been attracted to her even since the two were young.
Bella's perfect face once again went menacing, "He brought home wat wit 'em!"
"Another femme I already told ya. Bobby says ya can easily identify her wit er red an white hair an all."
Bella walked out of the shower bearing all to Julienne knowing he couldn't resist a request of hers while she was in this condition.
"Ya know Juli I might be able ta make an … exception fer ya if ya fin out all ya can bout tis other femme."
"I … I … I don know Belle's. Ya jus want ta be wit him again."
"No I don't … sides … if I cant hav 'em then no one can. Right? Doesn't Remy deserve ta be miserable?"
"Yes … yes he does. Especially after wat they did ta te Ripper Base."
"Good, so are ya gonna be a good boy an spy on 'em."
"No, I mean I will, but we'll use Bobby an when te times right we use 'em ta take te thieves guild."
"Ya defiantly got te brains in te family thank ya Juli." She said gently touching his face. She watched him smile and leave before she exited into the hallway.
"My lady, your father would not want you to walk around indecent." Leoniff, another member of the assassins guild and Bella's personal body guard told her.
"I know, no need fer him ta go round dying jus yet." She said putting on the white robe he gave her.
"So are we now to trust your brother?"
"Tat fool! Hell no. It took me faever ta convince Pa ta send him ta te Rippers ta get him out of my sights an tat's where I plan on keepin him! However, Julienne has his uses after being properly persuaded that is."
"So wat is te plan my Lady?"
"Bobby got half his father's looks, but none of his brains. Eventually, te family is gonna find out tat he helped us ta get his father an tat he's a double agent."
"And …"
"And we'll wait. Bobby's gonna come ta us. He is te inheritor of te thieves guild if anything were ta happen ta his pappy."
"But why would he come to us?"
"He is jealous of his little brother Remy, and it is quite apparent as to why he is jealous. He will come to me and tell me all the tieves secret. In exchange were supposed ta kill Remy. We will send Julienne out ta kill Remy. I'll tell Juli tat if he kills Remy tat I'll marry 'em."
'My Lady tat is not a safe bet!"
"Hush now. Don be goin around here doubting my future husband! Hahahahaha … I can picture it now. Remy an Juli fighting fer me over a field of flowers an if everythang goes well Remy'll kill Juli just like I want 'em to."
"What about te woman Remy is wit?"
"There's mo than one way ta skin a cat. I prefer te literal way myself …"
"As you wish my Lady, but do visit your father. His condition is worsening."
"I'll visit 'em more if he stops insisting tat I'll marry Juli since my arranged marriage aint quite work out."
"That is not fair Bella. He is your father after all."
"Leoniff, I'll always love te man ,but his times bout ovah, I cant do anything bout tat but sit there and wait till it happens an I officialy take ovah."
"Of course. Vodka and cheese before bed my Lady?"
"Nah, I'll be fine. Yer dismissed Leoniff."
"Then I'll be off. Night miss." Bella watched as he walked away before running to her room and giddily jumping up and down. Tomorrow she was going to make a surprise visit to his home and check out her competition. She didn't plan anything violent since she had been home mostly to attend to her father, but soon she'd have her way.
Brotherly Love
Bobby pulled out his diary which was an old paperback book that his mother used to write in and tought him to write in as well.
Ma,
I hate 'em an he brought some chick in here an JeanLuc gave her your room! I hav yet ta understand why JeanLuc's always had a soft spot for te boy. I mean when he first came here we got along cause he was notin but another mouth ta feed, but as he grew he was more like a parasite sucking up all father's attention. Every time JeanLuc spoke it was always, 'Fight like Remy', 'Cook like Remy', 'Do wat Remy does' etc. I'm his eldest son. He should trust me more!
An Remy's even got poor Jimmy brain washed. Fer some reason Jimmy learned ta like 'em. I guess it's cause Jimmy likes just bought everyone. He has always been good natured jus like you mama an he has yer eyes. But thangs are gonna change soon, thangs I cant write in here for fear of being found out, but someday … someday soon I'll come out on top again and tat's a promise.
Ya know tat I could never lie to ya , Love Bobby
…
Jimmy pulled out his diary which was a simple store brought notebook.
Sometime's I wonder wat life woulda been like if Bobby were never born and Remy was never adopted. One thangs fer sure life would be far more peaceful! Remy aint been home a good ten minutes before they went at it again. Sure I felt betrayed when he ditched Bella jus like te rest of em ,but Remy's still my brother. The brother who can kick my ass easily so I thank it's best ta let bygones be bygones. Also the lady he's wit is hot! I mean how come Remy attracts all te pretty woman? I could stare at those green eyes for faever.
But I know tat I aint bought ta mess wit 'er. I heard about what she did ta Bobby and I aint bought to become a victim in my own household ….
Being a Father
JeanLuc was never one to write down his thoughts. His father had told him to memorize the things that mattered to him. His father told him that paper and pan could always betray you, just like a week will. His dad told him a long time ago that the lifestyle they lived was a tough one, but he was proud to have him as a son.
So instead of writing he just thought to himself while drinking his troubles away:
When I had my first son I was happy. I jus knew that we would share what I had once shared wit my father an I was … fer a while. I thought 'em perfect an soon Camille an I gave 'em a little brother. Of course Jimmy was never the tief his brother was at first, but over te years he had been improving.
However, when I trained Rems I was hard on him because as I watched him develop I knew he was gonna be somtin special. My father had told tales of a time when the LeBeau's were revered for their excellence in te field. To my father I was a prodigy. I was better than he was at my age.
After my father passed I inherited tis house. It was old and in much need of repair. But I aint care about it till I started getting serious wit Camille. Tagether we were workin on makin te place better but then she …
Either case I was, when I was younger, at te top of my game. I was hired by some of the more important people, but I was mostly limited ta artwork an jewelry an Bobby has a scope far narrower than mine. But, at sixteen Remy was stealing microchips for far off countries, running off with prized jewels, and making a profit tat'd make anybody's head spin.
At first, I'll admit I hated Remy! Sometimes I wished he woulda died on one of his missions. I felt tat way because as a parent do ya know how hard it is ta tell yer own flesh an blood tat you prefer a street kid ya randomly adopted over him! I know tat Bobby's jealous, but wat can I do about it. I gave up on Bobby long ago. Heck I was gonna leave it all ta Remy, but now it looks like he really aint gonna come back.
An I see te way he been lookin at that girl. I kinda wish tat they both take over after I am gone, but if I learned one thing from Gambit is to not put all yer hopes in him. I thank he really loves tat girl though. He got tat look in his eye just like I had whenever I thank bout Camille.
Breakfast
" do ya always cook like tis?" Rogue asked looking at the spread of scrambled eggs, stuffed French toast, bacon, ham stakes, grits, and cereal.
"How could I not cook when I got company ta entertain?"
"Ya really aint gotta do tis fer me though."Rogue told him.
"No dad ya really don gotta do tis fer 'er." Bobby glared at her still feeling pain from his toe.
"Feelin ok Bobby? I heard tat ya stubbed ya toe las night." Jimmy laughed.
"Yeah an wat of it." Bobby leered at his brother before stuffing his face.
"So," JeanLuc started after taking a sip of his orange juice, "Have you an Remy had intercourse yet?"
Rogue chocked slightly on her cereal with a red face while Remy looked as his father with that 'why did you ask that question look'.
"Wat I jus wanted ta know how far ya gotten." JeanLuc asked innocently.
"Ya didn hav ta ask her tat!" Remy shouted at him.
"Why not? If a woman walked through my doors tat ya aint slept wit I'd be hard placed ta find 'er."
"Well ya lookin at one JeanLuc now behaved."
"Oh I see … Jimmy I want ya ta get our suits out te attick."
"Why?" Jimmy asked.
"She's te one. He like 'er an aint slept wit 'er yet!"
"Wats tat supposed ta mean." Bobby asked.
"He's maryin 'er end of story."
"Why ya thank tat?" Rogue asked.
"He aint never bring any one home ta meet us. Even Bella."
"Is tat true Rems?" Rogue asked seeing Gambit glare at his father.
"Oh so you can marry tat but not Bella?" Bobby asked.
"Wat's tat supposed ta mean?" Rogue asked him.
"Bobby leave her lone." Jimmy told his brother, but of course he didn't listen.
"I don see why he gotta marry Bela Lugosi wit a red wig." Bobby sneered. In what seemed like a blink of an eye Rogue had jumped over the table and knocking him and various condiments over. JeanLuc's eyes were open wide. How did she do that so fast? Jimmy's bacon was half hanging out his mouth. Where did his brother find a girl like her.
"OWWWWW!" Bobby screamed.
"Rogue … get … off him." Gambit told her trying to pull her off of Bobby's face but it wasn't working. Jimmy decided to help, but it seemed that she was glued to Bobby. Finally, resulting to dirty tactics Gambit grabbed a handful of her butt causing her to yelp and jump off Bobby.
"Why ya do tat fer!" Rogue pushed him away.
"Look ya cant go around killin my family."
"Don't act like ya haven't tried ta hurt mine."
"Hmm looks like I'm gonna need a new chair." JeanLuc noticed the broken chair under Bobby.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I'll replace it!" Rogue told him. Sometimes when her temper got the best of her she doesn't think clearly.
"Don worry bout it." JeanLuc said helping Bobby up.
"No, I'll pay fer a new one."
"Rogue, I'll get it. Don worry bout it yall two." Gambit said.
"Remy, I'm buying him another one."
"Rogue."
"Remy."
"Rogue I said …"
"I heard ya I aint death."
"Ya still gonna buy him one aint ya."
"Yep."
"She's an animal … oww." Bobby accused with an ice bag over his jaw.
"Ya were warned Bobby." Rogue told him not even bothering to show the slightest bit of guilt towards her recent actions except for the broken chair.
Knock knock
"Bobby stop ya bitchin an get te door." JeanLuc ordered.
Bobby turned down the short corridor while muttering to himself. He opened up he door and on the other side was Bella. Bella as in Bella Donna.
Bella was wearing her signature blue dress with a tan straw hat that had a blue ribbon around the top and with a few fall colored flowers in her hands.
"May I come in?"
"No!" Remy shouted from the dining room.
"Is yer brother home Bobby? And what happened to ya beautiful face?"
"Yea he home an his new femme did tis ta me."
"Poor baby." She pouted slightly before letting herself in and sitting her hat on the stairs before walking towards the sound of voices.
"Nice seeing ya again JeanLuc." Bella teased.
"It's nice seeing ya when I aint tied up tat is."
"Wat can I say I do hav a thang fer bondage." She smiled back.
"Why ya here Bells."
"Ta see you silly." Bella said taking a slight step forward, "I even bought ya some flowers ta liven up yall … 'beautiful' home."
"Ya must be Bella Donna." Rogue stated moving from behind her boyfriend.
"And you must be te new girl."
"Ya could say tat." Rogue replied. Although both of them were smiling and talking in conversational tones it was obvious that there was tension between them and a silently declared battle over the Cajun to Rogue's right.
"So where ya pick tis one up Remy?" Bella asked fluttering her long eyelashes.
"Not in a swamp I assure ya." Rogue answered courtly.
"Really, I couldn't tell."
"Bells let's talk otside." Gambit intervined.
"Remy ya know how I hate ta tan. Besides it's comfortable in here."
"I agree Rems it's perfect in here."
"An why do ya both thank tat."
"Remy how bout ya let us girls hav some private time." Bella asked nearly shoving him out of the room along with his family.
Girl Talk
Bella took a seat in a chair pulling her long legs off the floor and on to the table, "So look I'm tryin ta help ya sweetheart. He's only gonna break ya heart so how bout ya run back ta wherever ya came from an let bygones be bygones."
"Oh like he did you?" Rogue told her standing behind another chair with her hands resting upon it.
"He's gonna come back ta me. He always does."
"He aint come back here fer you."
"Is tat wat ya thank? Silly girl yer jus an imbetween. Sometin ta ride out till he comes back fer me."
"If he wanted ya so much then why did he leave ya in te firs place?"
"He was jus scared. We were younger then. I'm quite sure he's made up his mind now. Ya know I still wear his rang …"
"I didn know te heat down here caused people ta hallucinate."
"Hmpf an wat of you hmm? Half his whores would put ya face ta shame. An look at me. I'm perfect. I'm beautiful, blonde, with blue eyes, long eyelashes, and curvy. Wat would any man in they right mind would run ta you when they got all tis ta come home too?"
Rogue had to admit in a way she had a point. Bella was pretty and pretty girls always get what they want like Jean and Scott, Kitty and Pete, etc.
"Ya know I'm right little girl. He might not be bored of ya now, but one day he will be you'll see. Normally in these situations I would jus kill ya, but since my daddy dying I'm gonna be at home so consider yerself lucky. Jus remember te moment after he dies Remy will be mine wither I have go through you or not ta get 'em." Bella said standing up and dusting the back of her dress off.
"I guess I'll be seeing ya again. Jus keep in mind if ya try ta kill me or hurt Remy an his family in any way yer dad's gonna be havin company in hell."
"I'm glad ya accepted my challenge … Rogue. Good bye for now." She said leaving them all alone for the time being.
