Nick lunged for her, knocking her to the ground, and holding his fist to strike her. His anger rose as he saw her smile at him. The slow upload had begun, and she locked the screen. "Give me that phone, or so help me I'll kill you right now!"
"You were going to anyway weren't you? It's natural for you predators. Kill first, ask questions later." Bellwether held the phone to her chest. "I have such a poor connection out this way. Maybe you agree and I give you the lock code." She coyly smiled. "Better decide quickly, don't want your other little mistakes over there learning what a dirty fox their daddy was later on."
Nick drew back and slammed his fist into the floor beside the head of Bellwether remained stoic. His ears twitched, and his face fell as he looked at the phone's progress bar pass 8% "I'll do it. But no more tricks. You stay out of our lives. Any more copies of that video go away..." Nick raised himself from atop her. He undid the apron, revealing himself. His ears twitched, and gritted his teeth as his sex dangled before her.
"That's more like it. Now get it hard. I don't have all day." Bellwether stood, and tugged her panties from beneath her clothes. As she tossed them to the side, she took a single step before feeling a cold sensation on her neck.
"You don't have a day." Judy's voice was monotone as she pressed her gun into Bellwether's neck. She looked over at Nick who pulled himself to his feet. "Nick, you okay over there? How are the girls?" She kept the gun trained on the ewe as she snatched the phone away. "Francine, take care of this thing." Nick stepped forward, yanking the grenade from Bellwether's pocket, his hate-filled gaze locked on her as he wrapped it in his apron.
Pennington step around the corner her gun held on Bellwether. "I'm on it." She took the phone, and crushed it beneath her foot. "Dawn Bellwether, you are under arrest." As she removed her handcuffs, Judy held her hand out to stop her. "Judy what are you doing?"
Judy's gun hammer clicked back. "This time it is loaded. This time I'm going to do it." Judy's eyes went blank as her hand quivered. "I can never forgive what you did to me. What you did to him. You took my Nick from me." She blinked back the tears in her eyes and steadied her arm.
"Do it Judy. Go ahead." Bellwether dared as she leaned her head back into the gun. "It won't change anything. I still won. What are you going to do when I'm dead? Going to kill the baby too? Going to be a baby murderer?" Bellwether laughed, then pointed at Nick. "Think he'll forgive you for killing his Mistake?"
"What is she talking about Nick?" Judy looked at Nick who looked at the table, then away. "Answer me! What is she talking about?!" She looked at the table, then heard the sound of baby's cry. "Tell me that isn't what I think it is!" Bashing Bellwether with the gun, she walked to table and looked inside the basket. The memory of the video began to rush back, and she looked up to Nick who began slumping to the floor. "She...that's right...what she did...What she..."
"Judy...keep it together." Pennington held Bellwether down and cuffed her. "It's over now, back up is on the way. She can't do anything else." She raised Bellwether to her feet. "You need to calm down." She froze as Judy turned around aiming her gun in her direction. "Whoa, Judy. Let's take it easy. Put the gun down." Judy's gun hammer set and Pennington repeated her command. "Judy, put the gun-!"
Nick snatched the gun away, holding Judy in his arms. "That's enough...it's okay...it's okay..." Holding her tight, he brought her to sit in his lap. "She doesn't get to get out of this that easy. She gets to go away, sit and rot. Then when they execute her, we'll be there." Nick slid the gun to Pennington, and rocked Judy in his grasp. Judy sobbed as they stood together, passing Pennington and checking on their twins. "She can't take this from us. These two are proof of it."
Judy cried as she hugged her girls, holding them even as backup arrived, dragging Bellwether away. Her eyes focused on the basket on the table. She handed Nick May and June, then walked slowly through the officers. Everyone watched on high alert as Judy reached into the basket. "It's not your fault..." She held the baby and looked back at Nick. "You didn't ask to be a part of this."
"Wilde, social service will be here soon. I'm sure they can fix her up with a good home." Bogo reached for the lamb, and Judy pulled away. "Wilde, give me the baby." When he reached again, Judy walked past him.
Sitting on the chair beside Nick, she looked at him, and at the lamb in her arms. "Even if I don't like it. It's not her fault." Nick looked away from the lamb, refusing to look down. "We have to give her a chance. She's a Wilde now. Right?"
Nick stood, holding June and May. "She'll just be a reminder of everything that happened. Can you live with that? Can you live with that hell?" He stared at Judy who nodded. "How? How can you? What she is isn't right. She's a part of that bitch!"
"And she's a part of you. Nick, we already have two reminder's right in your arms. Two beautiful reminders that something good can come out of something horrible." Judy turned Mistake to face Nick. "You can't take it out on her. It's not fair." She smiled at him gently. "Maybe if we raise her right, she'll never turn out to be like her mother. Can't we give her that chance?"
Nick looked at the lamb as she began to fuss. "Fine. Just until child services finds her a home. I'm not giving her my name. She stays Mistake." He cursed at himself as Judy hugged the lamb in her lap. "Right...fine. Name her whatever you want. I don't care." As he turned from her, with twins in tow, he shook his head. "It'll never end."
