Molly pressed a chaste kiss to Chibs' lips before she stood up from the patio chair. Her heart felt like it had been shattered into a million little jagged pieces.
Even with Chibs' reassurances she felt so hopeless when she thought of her mother.
Chibs reached for Molly's hand sure that she would need some support as they walked back into the house.
He felt his stomach drop as Molly pulled her hand away from his. She ignored the look of concern on his face as she pulled away from him and headed indoors alone.
Molly felt her stomach ache as she walked through the front door into a silent house. It was clear that her mother had sucked all the joy out of the dinner party with her tantrum.
Molly hung her head low doing her best not to cry. She refused to give her mother the satisfaction of knowing that the fight they'd just had, had broken her.
Molly was sure she'd never felt more embarrassed in her entire life. She knew that everyone must have heard or seen her mother storming inside and stomping upstairs.
Right now all Molly wanted to do was disappear; hide out somewhere until the sun rose and the guests and her mother were long gone.
Molly went upstairs praying that she didn't run into her mother, as she made her way to Chibs' and her bedroom.
She slammed the door behind her almost tempted to lock it before she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Molly knew that she was being childish; slamming doors, pouting, hiding in her room. She was just so humiliated and heartbroken.
She could only imagine what her new-found family must think of her mother and her.
She knew that they would find offense in some of the things her mother had said. Molly couldn't help but to fear that they had overheard her mother's rant. What if they thought she felt the same way?
The last thing Molly wanted was for anyone to think was that she thought Chibs' family wasn't good enough for Mason and her.
She didn't want anyone to think that she wasn't grateful for the way they'd welcomed her and her boy into their world and their family.
They had all been so kind to her. They had accepted her without any questions or doubts.
Chibs' love for Mason and her had been enough for them to accept her and her little boy into their tight-knit group.
For the first time in so long Molly felt like she belonged somewhere.
She loved everyone at that dinner table. She trusted them with the family Chibs and she were building together.
She had no idea how she'd ever face any of them again now that they knew what a nightmare her mother was.
It was already painful enough that they knew about her abusive marriage.
She felt such shame knowing that everyone knew just how horrible Brian was. She would be lying if she tried to say taht she didn't fear that everyone saw her as being weak for staying with Brian for so long.
She worried that everyone must think she was such a gigantic disaster; an abusive ex and a controlling mother.
This was supposed to be her new life; a life she could be proud of. A life that was worthy of Mason and herself.
Why couldn't her mother see that her life here in Charming with Chibs was everything Molly had dreamed of; secure, loving, and so full of joy.
This should be a moment where her extended family here in Charming and her family in Louisiana united.
Molly felt the tears finally fall as she began to think of her son.
What must Mason think having witnessed all this?
Mason had been so excited knowing that he was going to be a big brother.
Her son had seen that his grandmother clearly wasn't as happy as everyone else with this pregnancy.
Surely he had realized by now that things weren't all roses and sunshine between his Granny Gloria and his new daddy.
He was only six years old. How in the hell was she supposed to explain her mother's disapproval to him?
Molly felt her sorrow and her shame quickly turn into rage.
How dare her mother behave like this? What in the hell did Gloria think she was going to achieve acting so horribly?
How could her mother even suggest that she not stay here and have this baby with Chibs? This was her grandchild for Christ's sake.
The little life inside of her was Gloria's grandchild as much as Mason was.
It was so unfair. Her mother should be thrilled for her. This should be such a happy moment and her mother had wrecked it all.
Molly wiped her eyes trying her hardest to hide her tears as the bedroom door opened revealing the last person she'd expected to see.
Jack Dupuis gave his younger sister a weak smile as he closed the door behind him. He sat down beside her as he spoke. "Filip's worried."
Molly bowed her head feeling guilty for pulling away from Chibs. He was just trying to comfort her and she'd just stormed off upstairs.
She felt like a huge brat at the moment.
"I know...I just needed to be alone for a minute. I didn't want Mason to see how upset mom made me." She explained as she continued to stare down at the floor.
She did her best to pretend that she was examining the pale blue nail polish on her toes as she spoke up. "I'm guessing you're here because you drew the short straw."
"I was worried. Everyone is worried about you." Jack replied smirking at the short straw comment.
Molly frowned as she spoke unable to hide the bitterness from her voice. "I thought you'd be driving her to the nearest motel by now."
Jack nodded his head not surprised to hear the spite in his sister's voice. He knew that more often than not he enabled their mother by ignoring her alcoholism and her antics.
He didn't blame Molly for having any resentment towards him for doing this. He had often backed up his mother when he shouldn't have.
To be honest he wasn't sure why he indulged his mother so much. He'd always assumed that maybe he just had some serious mommy issues?
Or maybe it was because he was technically the man of the house. Perhaps he'd felt that it was his place given his father's absence, to support and aid his mother.
He was unable to back up his mother this time though.
Even though he had doubts of his own, he knew that he had to put them aside and consider his sister's obvious happiness.
There was going to be a baby. His little niece or nephew. The realization thrilled him.
He swallowed the lump in his throat as he spoke up. "I told her to call a cab."
Molly widened her eyes surprised to have gotten this response. She'd expected her brother to just give in to their mother the way he always did.
"She's wrong. She shouldn't be acting like this. I told her that much. I wish it had helped. She's going to a motel and buying a plane ticket back to New Orleans tomorrow." Jack explained making it clear that he was behind Molly one hundred percent.
"Thank you." Molly blurted out as her brother wrapped an arm around her.
She felt herself sink into the hug knowing that she and her brother hadn't hugged like this in a long while, not even when he'd discovered her so beaten up after Brian had discovered she was leaving him.
Her brother had been her only father figure since her father had died.
Jack and she had always been so close. With their mothers often lax attitude towards being a single mother, Molly and her siblings had always taken care of one another.
It had seemed that with her marriage to Brian the close relationship she'd had with her brother had become strained.
For the first time in so long Molly felt a strong connection with her brother once again. She felt like she had the family that Brian had tried to deprive her of back again.
It was a feeling she'd missed so dearly.
"You know I'm always going to have your back. You're my baby sister. You've always been there for me and I'm never going to stop being there for you. I love you even if you're pigheaded most of the time." Jack pointed out.
Jack knew that this lifestyle and Chibs were probably the last thing he'd ever chose for his sister, but he also knew that it wasn't his choice.
This was Molly's life not his. As long as Chibs treated Molly and Mason right, Jack would support them.
Of course though in typical big brother style he knew that if Chibs ever screwed up he'd make him pay.
As long as his sister was happy though, Jack would be happy.
Jack let out a sigh as he spoke again. "This kid's going to have a ton of love sis. No matter what he or she will have their Uncle Jack and Uncle Geoff to spoil him or her rotten."
Molly felt a sense of comfort wash over her as she soaked in her brother's words.
She knew he wasn't joking about the spoiling rotten comment. Her brother and his boyfriend already spoiled Mason. Mason's birthday gifts proved that; a big toy fire truck, a magic kit, a Batman mask, and several Disney films.
Molly had no doubt in her mind that this baby would just as spoiled as its older brother. She also knew that Kerrianne would receive the same treatment once her brother met the girl.
Jack adored his nephew and he'd adore this new niece or nephew and this new step-niece just as much.
She spoke her voice scratchy from crying. "Why does she have to be so unfair?"
Jack let out a sigh his heart breaking to hear his sister's sorrow. "I wish I knew sis. You know how mom can be. I mean she still won't accept that I'm gay never mind the fact I've been dating Geoff for almost a decade now. I'm marrying the man in a civil ceremony and talking about adopting and she still thinks it's a phase."
Molly nodded her head knowing that her brother was right. Their mother was so stubborn and so locked in negativity.
Their mother was just so difficult to understand sometimes.
Molly could remember how her brother had been so terrified of his mother's reaction that he'd come out to Molly first, years before he'd ever even thought of coming out of the closet to the entire family.
Molly felt her stomach sink realizing that her mother may never accept Chibs.
If her mother couldn't accept someone as sweet as Geoff loving her son then what hope was there for Molly and Chibs?
"Can you let Filip in? I've probably freaked him out storming off like I did." Molly asked as her brother pulled away from their hug.
Jack smiled knowing that Chibs was probably still pacing out in the hall, just as he'd been doing when Jack had opened the bedroom door.
Jack opened the bedroom door patting Chibs on the back as he let the man in. Molly nodded a thanks to her brother as he left the couple alone closing the door behind them.
Molly felt her cheeks flush as Chibs made his way over to her. She felt so ashamed for reacting the way she had. She knew that she shouldn't have pulled away from him without a word.
He was clearly worried sick about her.
She spoke up as he sat down on the bed beside her. "I'm sorry for freaking out...I just didn't want anyone to see how much she got to me."
Chibs placed a hand over hers giving it a gentle squeeze as he spoke. "It's alrigh lass. Ya have the right to be upset."
Molly let out a sigh thankful that he wasn't upset that she'd pushed him away. She felt her stomach sink as she spoke. "Is Mason alright?"
"Aye he's fine. Gemma got Abel and him to sit down fer a movie with the Winston kids in the living room. They're watchin the Lion King. Mason couldn't get it out of the dvd cabinet fas enough." Chibs reassured her as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
She smiled at this comment. The Lion King was currently Mason's favorite movie. He jumped back and forth between it; The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Finding Nemo, and of course Spiderman.
She sunk into Chibs' embrace as she spoke expressing her fears. "He knows something isn't right though doesn't he?"
Chibs pressed a kiss to her temple as he spoke. "Aye he does."
Molly felt her stomach sink even farther knowing that they were going to have to have a talk with her son about his grandmother and her disapproval.
She closed her eyes having no idea how they were even going to begin to explain this mess to the boy.
She knew that it would kill her if Mason didn't believe that his grandmother loved him and this baby. She knew that he would come to that conclusion. What else was he supposed to think when his grandmother was throwing such a fit?
Chibs pressed another kiss to her temple as he spoke clearly sensing her fears. "We'll figure somethin out sweet lass. We're goin to be okay."
Molly nodded her head praying that he was right.
She felt a little embarrassed as she spoke up struggling to find the right words to express how she felt. "Can we just stay in here until she's gone? I just..I don't think I can even look at her right now. I'm so mad and...I hurt so much. I hate her but I love her. I wish she wasn't so...difficult."
Chibs held her a little tighter doing his best to comfort her. "Aye a thaisce. We'll wait as long as ya want."
"How am I going to face everyone again? They must think I'm a disaster...a nightmare ex husband and a rude mother." Molly whimpered her eyes beginning to water again.
"They don't think that lass. Yer family. They aint goin to judge ya. If anything they're jus goin to be worried bout ya. We'll face everyone together." Chibs promised her as he pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.
Molly gave up on attempting to dry her tears as she continued to let him hold her. She felt that she needed to let all the pain and the disappointment out.
Maybe once she shed her tears she'd be able to find a way to move forward.
This would work out somehow, she told herself.
Somehow this would all work out as long as they each other.
Surely things were finally looking up for her.
Chibs raised an eyebrow as he watched his old lady and Mason scoop out the innards of yet another large pumpkin.
Molly's family had left early Sunday morning and Chibs had been surprised that he'd actually been a little sad to see them go.
He really had bonded with Molly's grandmother and her brother. Even her little sister had begun to be kind to him towards the end of the week.
It surprised him that he actually looked forward to seeing these members of Molly's family again.
He was even beginning to consider visiting New Orleans sometime around the Christmas holiday. It might be nice to spend Christmas with Molly's grandmother and her siblings.
He couldn't help but to like the idea. He wanted to see the place Molly had been born and raised, with her and their boy.
So far there had been no contact from Molly's mother. No phone calls, no texts, nothing.
To be honest it pissed Chibs off. He hated knowing that Gloria was breaking her daughter's heart because of him.
He was so tempted to call up the woman and have a few choice words with her. He knew though that him lashing out wouldn't help the strained relationship his old lady had with her mother.
It killed him to see Molly so heartbroken in what should be such a joyous moment in their lives.
At least Mason hadn't asked any questions yet. He seemed to be keeping whatever he was feeling and thinking all inside.
Chibs just prayed that whatever the boy was feeling didn't come out in some big meltdown.
Halloween had at least taken away some attention from Gloria Dupuis.
It was nice to experience some lighthearted fun after having so much tension in the home.
It was the first time Chibs had ever really celebrated the holiday. When he was a boy in Glasgow his mother hadn't had the money for any nonsense such as costumes and sweets. He and his sister had attended festivals at their school; bobbing for apples and carving turnips into lanterns, but he'd never dressed up or really celebrated the holiday the way one did in the states.
Of course when Kerrianne was a little girl he had marked the holiday by at least buying her a big American candy bar. They unfortunately hadn't had the money to do much more than that.
Really back home Halloween was just another reason to go out and drink and cause trouble.
When he'd come to the states he had been shocked to see how much of a big deal Americans made over the holiday.
It seemed that everywhere he looked there were decorations, jack o lanterns, stores full of huge bags of candy and costumes, and horror movies on the television.
He'd spent his past Halloweens in Charming at the clubhouse. A few croweaters would always show up wearing sexy nurse, sexy cat, and whatever other costume could be made sexy.
Of course he'd always enjoyed this. Getting laid by a croweater and getting drunk was just another night in Charming for him.
This year of course would be different. Now he had not only an old lady but a little boy as well.
Tomorrow night was Halloween and Mason and Molly were already preparing. Apparently Halloween was his old lady and his boy's favorite holiday.
Molly looked up as she dumped a spoonful of pumpkin guts into the sink it making a gross splat sound, as she spoke. "You know you have to carve one too."
"I think I'll jus leave it up ta you two lass." Chibs remarked as he opened a bottle of beer and took a swig before placing it back down on the counter.
Molly laughed as Mason stuck his hand into the pumpkin making a disgusted face. Chibs smiled the sound of her laughter music to his ears.
"We use ta do turnips when I was a lad." Chibs pointed out as he looked at the jack o lantern Molly had already carved up.
She'd given the pumpkin round eyes, a triangular nose, and a jagged wide smile.
"Why turnips?" Mason exclaimed his eyes widened in confusion.
Chibs chuckled at the boy's reaction. "I don't know. It's jus how we do things."
"Are you going to wear a costume?" Mason asked as he scooped out another handful of orange gunk.
Chibs smirked as he spoke. "I'm goin to be the scariest thing of all lad. Myself."
Molly laughed as Mason let out a huff obviously not amused. The boy spoke as he scooped up more pumpkin guts. "How are you going to trick or treat without a costume?"
Molly pressed a kiss to Mason's cheek as she spoke. "Daddy's too old to trick or treat baby. Grown ups usually don't dress up."
Chibs smiled the word Daddy always sending a surge of joy through him.
"You're dressing up though right mommy?" Mason asked as Molly ushered him over to the sink to wash the slimy pumpkin from his hands.
"Yeah I will." Molly promised him already knowing that the boy had picked out her costume for her, though she'd decided just to make the costume herself other than buy it.
"What's yer ma goin to be?" Chibs asked this being the first time he'd heard of Molly dressing up.
Mason smiled as he dried off his hands with a paper towel. "A mermaid, just like in Peter Pan. She's going to be a nice mermaid though. She's going to be really pretty. I'm going to be a pirate with an eyepatch and everything. Mommy made me a sword out of cardboard and she got me a big bucket shaped like a ghost for all the candy. I get to wear my costume to school tomorrow. We're going to have a party in class with cookies and punch and watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Abel is going to be Batman. I think Thomas is going to be a pumpkin."
Chibs chuckled a little amused to know Molly would be dressing up just to answer the door. He was even more amused to know that Mason had finally settled on a pirate costume. The boy had been stuck between choosing a pirate costume or a Spiderman costume.
Molly and Mason had spent the afternoon decorating the house with fake spider web made out of a weird cotton material they'd bought, hanging ghosts made from white plastic bags from the tree out front, and carving jack o lanterns.
Molly had made sure to make this Halloween special for Mason.
The Halloweens before had been less than special for the boy. Brian had always insisted Molly go to a big costume party with him. It was some big dull party for the upper class of New Orleans.
The first time attending the party had been fun for Molly. It had been like some ball straight out of the fairy tales she'd read as a child. She'd gotten to wear a beautiful Marie Antoinette costume. She'd drank champagne and enjoyed herself. She'd felt like Cinderella.
The next few years had been less than impressive though. She hated the stuck up people, the dull orchestra that was hired to play, the lack of children and kitsch Halloween decorations, and the task of being shown off like a trophy by Brian.
Mason had always been left to go trick or treating with the maid Cora. The woman had no children of her own and had been kind enough to make sure the boy got to celebrate the holiday.
Still though it had always upset Molly not being able to celebrate her favorite holiday with her son.
This year was going to be perfect though. She'd made sure of that.
Chibs was going to take the boy out trick or treating around some of the nicer neighborhoods in Charming while Molly answered the door and handed out candy at home.
She'd brought out all the works for this holiday; jack o lanterns, apple cider, caramel apples, fun decorations, and costumes.
She was thankful that she knew how to sew and how to do diy projects considering it saved a ton of money when it came to decorating and making costumes.
She was very proud of the costume she'd made for herself at Mason's insistence. She'd gotten a long green skirt and had made it fitted at the base. She'd added green tulle to the bottom of the skirt to make the tail. She'd gotten a pale green bikini top and had sewn on sequins, little seashells, and fake pearls.
This holiday had been just the pick me up Molly had needed after last week.
She was doing her best to hide how much her mother's rejection had hurt her.
She knew that Chibs could see through the happy facade she put on though. She was just thankful that he wasn't taking matters into his own hands and having it out with her mother.
He was doing his best to provide her with some emotional support as she dealt with all her anger and heartbreak.
Keeping busy made things easier, but no matter how busy she became the hurt didn't fade away.
Chibs wrapped an arm around Molly as he whispered in her ear. "So when the lad goes to bed tomorrow do I get ta see ya in jus the clam bra?"
She smirked seeing this as the perfect opportunity. "I'll consider it if you carve a jack o lantern."
He grinned knowing that he'd carve a million jack o lanterns if sex with his sweet lass was the reward.
"Hand me a knife." He blurted out moving towards the cleaned out pumpkin.
Molly smiled doing as he asked.
This was going to be the best Halloween they'd both had in a very long time.
Chibs managed to get Mason tucked into bed thankful that the boy wasn't too hyped up from all the treats he'd had today.
He already knew getting the boy up tomorrow morning for school was going to be an ordeal after being up so late.
The excitement of Halloween being tomorrow was enough to give the child a little bit too much energy.
Mason spoke up completely taking Chibs off guard, his voice full of worry. "Why is Granny Gloria being so weird?"
"Weird?" Chibs asked any hopes he'd had that the boy wouldn't notice his grandmother's behavior disappearing.
"Uh huh. She made mommy sad. Why?" Mason asked a frown etched into his face.
Chibs ran his hand through the boy's hair as he struggled to find the right words to explain this all. "Sometimes adults do strange things lad. Sometimes they say things they shouldn't and feelins get hurt."
"Granny should just tell mommy she's sorry. That's what you're suppose to do when you say something mean. My teacher says that you should say sorry when you hurt someones feelings." Mason replied causing Chibs to give him a sad smile.
Chibs couldn't help but to be overtaken by how simple it was to the child. Mason was so innocent believing that just saying sorry could solve so much resentment and hurt feelings.
He changed the subject seeing that the boy's eyes were getting heavier by the second. "Ya need ta get to sleep laddie. Ya have a busy day tomorrow."
He was grateful that the boy fell right asleep not asking any more questions about the situation with his grandmother and his mother.
Chibs pressed a kiss to the boy's forehead before he turned on the nightlight and shut off the lights leaving the room.
He made his way to the master bedroom smiling as he saw that Molly was fast asleep.
He settled down in bed beside her unable to stop himself from scooting down to her stomach.
He pulled up the black cami she was wearing taking in the sight of her still flat stomach.
Her first doctors appointment wouldn't be for a while considering the doctor was booked up for weeks. They wanted the best doctor they could find though and this doctor fit the bill.
Tara had been sure to set them up with the same doctor she'd used when she was pregnant with Thomas.
Apparently this doctor was affordable and very highly regarded in her field. She was supposed to be the best Obstetrician Charming had to offer.
Chibs pressed a soft kiss to Molly's stomach causing her to stir a little. Molly was ready to open her eyes until she heard Chibs speak to the little life in her stomach.
She kept her eyes closed as she listened to him. "Hey wee one. How's everythin goin in there? Ya probably noticed yer ma's feelin really down."
He ran his hand along her stomach rubbing gentle circles against it as he spoke. "Things are kinda crazy out here wee love. It's probably not goin to be easy fer ya. Yer da sometimes does things ya probably won't understand or like."
He let out a shaky sigh as he spoke again. "I promise ya I love ya, yer brother, yer sister, and yer ma more than anything though. Yer a lucky wee one ta have such a wonderful ma. She's gorgeous and so sweet. Ya don't find both those things together in a lot of people. She loves me even when a lot of people don't think she should."
He pressed another kiss to her stomach before continuing. "Yer grandma Gloria is one of those people...she's jus scared I think. Yer ma has been hurt a lot. I don't want ya to worry bout all that though. Ya have a ton of people out here that understand yer ma and me. They love ya so much already."
He smiled as he glanced up at Molly. He spoke still talking to their wee one. "I don't blame em fer lovin ya. We're all lookin forward to the day yer out here with us. Yer ma loves ya so much already. Whenever ya worry bout how yer grandma sometimes acts jus remember that I love yer ma so much and that's what really matters."
He pressed a kiss to her stomach as he spoke. "I love her even though she really sucks at pretendin to be asleep."
"How'd you know?" Molly asked sitting up as she opened her eyes.
He moved back up her body pressing a kiss to her lips. "I knew when I kissed yer stomach the first time. Yer eyes opened a little."
She pressed a kiss to his lips as she spoke up. "I'm sorry I've been so morose lately."
"Ya don't have ta apologize fer that Molly. Yer actin the way most people would." He remarked wrapping his arms around her pulling her into a protective embrace.
She let out a sigh as she laid back down relaxing against him. "I wish my mom could see what I see when I look at you. I wish she could see how wonderful you are...how much you love our family."
"I know sweet thaisce." He murmured as he ran a hand through her tangled hair relaxing her completely.
"It hurts so much. I don't want her around if she can't support us though. I know it's not fair to Mason though...she's his grandmother." Molly explained her throat tightening up as she struggled not to cry again.
She'd cried far too much these past few days. She shook her head sighing. "If she wants back in our life she has to get sober. I don't want her behaving that way around her grandchildren. She's going to have to do a lot to prove to me that she can be in our lives."
Chibs nodded his head agreeing with her fully. He pressed a kiss to her lips as he tried to reassure her. "She jus needs time lass. We jus need ta give her some space ta think bout the mistake she's makin actin like this."
Molly let out a soft sigh hoping he was right.
As angry as she was with her mother, it still hurt having her mother reject Chibs and their family.
Molly had already had to be pregnant once without her mother's support. It hurt to think about having to do it again.
A woman needed her mother at a time like this.
"I love you." Molly stated as she pressed a soft kiss to his lips.
He smiled as she took his hand in hers placing it over her stomach and spoke. "We love you."
"I love the both of ya so much." He murmured his eyes growing heavy.
Everything felt so right at the moment.
For the first time in so long he felt so complete.
He couldn't help but to fear in the back of his mind that something was right around the corner waiting to wreck everything though.
If Chibs knew anything he knew that when things in his life were going right there was always someone or something out there waiting to ruin it all.
He just prayed his fears were empty ones.
Xavier Morris unlocked the door to the shitty motel he was staying in. He had hoped that with as much as his client was paying him he'd at least get a ritzy hotel room, but no such luck.
It seemed that all Charming had to offer was crap motels and one little bed and breakfast.
He ran his hand through his thinning hair as he sat down on the foot of his all too firm bed. At thirty he was already balding.
His chunky body ached from long days parked in his car watching his subjects.
He was frustrated with this job. He feared that his client wasn't going to be pleased.
All he'd gotten so far was pictures of Molly Dupuis doing boring day to day things; grocery shopping, going to a book store, getting her nails done with some blonde.
It wasn't that impressive.
He'd gotten a couple of pictures of her with the kid though. Taking him to the park, taking him to school, and taking him to some ice cream parlor.
As much as Xavier hated to admit it the biker intimidated him. The man was rough looking.
He'd asked around town about the Sons of Anarchy, but so far no one had given him anything useful.
He had taken a couple of photos of Molly on the back of the biker's motorcycle. As well as one picture of them walking hand and hand to a little Italian food place downtown.
He had captured a few pictures of guests arriving to some party they'd been having.
Xavier felt like he was taking more and more risks each time he took a photo though.
He had a feeling this biker wouldn't be too kind if he caught a man taking pictures of his girlfriend and her kid.
So far he'd managed to avoid being noticed though.
He was more than ready to get the hell out of Charming. He knew that he had to get more to show his client though.
He knew that his client wanted more than he had to give. Joseph Parker was a hard man to please as was his rotten son.
Brian Parker had made it clear that he wanted a ton of photos and information.
A couple of pictures of the biker and Molly running errands probably wasn't what Brian was looking for.
Xavier let out a frustrated sigh knowing that he needed something big.
Little did he know he was about to get just what he was wishing for.
Reviews? Constructive Criticism?
