I swear to god, I treat this fic better then my others, I'm working on Perfect House, ACBU, War. It's getting stressful, making these is pretty hard! First, the night before, I gather up Lily, Seth, Ian, and Lindsey...sometimes Joey. We have binders full of ideas, so this was technically Lindsey/Lily's idea! So yea, in the last chapter of ACBU. All my friends are gonna write their thoughts and what we did. Oh and Margaret's past is revealed a bit more! I suggest if rape is a little too much for you to just skip ahead.

Mordecai's apartment:

Mordecai was in a good mood as he strolled to his place, Rigby took notice while playing videogames, "Whoa. You alright?"

The blue jay sat on the couch with a smile, "Ya know our new neighbor, Margaret?"

Rigby nodded, "Yea, Eileen ran into her earlier"

Mordecai let out a loving sigh, "I kissed her,"

"Did she enjoy it?" Rigby asked, not taking his eyes off the game.

The blue jay socked him in the arm, "Not cool!" He warned, then smiled, "It doesn't matter, she put me in a good mood from that kiss"

Rigby mashed the buttons, "Did you try to make a move?"

Mordecai shrugged, "I held her hands, she seemed to like that"

The raccoon nodded, "Where was her kid?"

"Sleeping. Margaret told me about herself…she's been through a lot Rigby" Mordecai spoke, remembering all the horrors Margaret faced.

Rigby looked over, "What happened?"

The blue jay shook his head, "I don't wanna talk about it. She's just very upset about something from her past. And she's trying hard to move on" He headed into his bedroom.

Rigby nodded, playing videogames.

The next morning:

Margaret opened her door just as Mordecai did. She stared at him then smiled, "Hi"

He walked over to her, "I have a question" He rubbed the back of his neck, "that…that kiss" Mordecai blinked his eyes, "Does that mean…we're dating?"

Margaret blushed, "Mordecai…" She trailed off, "we can't date"

Rosie looked up at the two grownups talking, "What do you mean?" Mordecai asked, a little confused, "Was that kiss…nothing?"

The cardinal looked down, "Mordecai. You don't know what you're getting yourself into! Trust me! You're a very sweet guy, I like you a lot but…we can never be together" She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

Rosie busted into giggles, "You kiss!"

Mordecai stared at her, "Margaret…last night I told you, nobody was going to hurt you. I made a promise. You have to believe me. I'll never hurt you"

Margaret stared at him, "Mordecai. He'll kill you! I couldn't live with myself if you died for me"

The blue jay stroked her cheek, "Believe me when I say this…he'll never kill me" He led her into a passionate kiss.

Margaret pulled away, "Ok Mordecai" She whispered, giving him a peck.

Rosie smiled, "Kissy kissy" She teased.

Margaret lifted Rosie up on her hip. "I'll drive you to work" Mordecai offered.

She smiled, nodding.

The Coffee Shop:

Margaret was around with trays of food, Rosie was playing with her dolly in the corner while Mordecai was at the register. Being a waitress wasn't that hard, she kindly handed the people their foods and beverages, then walking off and getting more.

Rosie slurped her sippy cup only to realize it was empty, "Oh" She got up and started following Margaret. "Mama" She called after her.

Margaret had a tray full of food, "Ok Rosie. Hang on" She moved the tray to one hand and lifted Rosie up on her hip, she sat the tray down at the customer's table, "Here's your food sir" She went to her daughter, "What's a matter Sweetie?"

The toddler lifted the drink, "Sippy"

Margaret smiled, "We'll fill up your cup" She looked at the man, "Need a refill?"

He nodded, lifting his mug to show he was almost out, "Yes"

She quickly hurried off to get the coffee pot, she sat Rosie down then grabbed the coffee pot, "Just one minute Rosie" She hurried off to the customer.

Rosie saw Mordecai and walked behind the counter, "Blew!" She called.

Mordecai looked down, "Rosie…" He lifted her up, she pointed at her cup. "Oh…you're thirsty. Ok" He carried her to the juices.

Margaret scowled at the man's written phone number, she tossed it in the trash and went back to work until she remember, "Rosie!" She raced to see Rosie wasn't there.

Her eyes went wide, "Rosie!" She ran to the counter, "Mor-Rosie.." She trailed off seeing Rosie slurping her sippy cup, resting her head on Mordecai's chest. "Oh thank god.."

Mordecai handed her, "She wanted some juice" He told her, "She likes Apple juice right?"

She nodded, "Yea, it's her favorite" She smiled, running her fingers through her hair, "Ok Rosie. Back to the corner" The cardinal carried her back.

Margaret sat her down, "Just stay here ok" She walked back to get the remaining customers their food.

As if time flew, it was already Margaret's break, she lifted her daughter into a booth, "Here Sweetie" She had a cinnamon roll and a glass of milk next to Rosie.

Mordecai shortly joined them, "That's a big cinnamon roll for a small girl" He joked.

Rosie pulled it off her plate, "Mine!" She took a big bite out of it.

The door opened, the birds paid no attention to it, Margaret picked pieces off Rosie's cinnamon roll as she was distracted. "Mama. Stoppp" She groaned, catching Margaret stealing bits of her cinnamon roll.

The cardinal smiled, "Honey. Eat your food"

The pouting toddler threw the cinnamon roll on the plate, "No!"

Margaret sighed, pinching her nose. "Please Baby"

Rosie pouted, grabbing the cinnamon roll, taking a tiny bite. "Hi" She waved at the man who was staring at them.

The man turned away not to face them, Mordecai muttered, "What a dick" He looked at Rosie. "*gasp!*Look!" Mordecai pointed behind her.

Rosie turned her head while Mordecai and Margaret took bits from her cinnamon roll, she turned her head back to see her cinnamon roll had marks, "Mama! Blew! Stop!" She pouted, pushing her plate forward.

Rosie made a fuss and scolded them for touching her food, she took her cinnamon roll and ate it all by herself. "Haha! It's gone!" She smirked.

Margaret smiled then looked at the time, "Ok. Back to your spot" She lifted Rosie up, carrying her back to the place she was.

The cardinal dusted off her apron, covering in cinnamon roll, "Hello Sir, how are you this morning?" She greeted the man.

He snarled, "Tired"

Margaret pulled out her notebook, "What would you like?"

He growled, "A coffee, geez I'm tired! What do you think I'd want!" He raised his voice.

The cardinal took a few steps back, "Ok Sir" She walked behind the counter, giving the order to the cook.

Mordecai couldn't believe it, she took that from that guy, more people came in. Margaret took their orders, giving them to the cook as the man's coffee cup was there. She gulped, taking it.

Mordecai noticed, "Hey, I'll take it to him" He took the cup out her hands and walked over.

The man glared at the sight of the blue jay, "What the fuck!? Where's that red bird!?"

Mordecai slammed the cup down, "She's not taking orders from you"

"What!? She was being stupid! Such a skank!" He cried, hoping Margaret would hear him, she did.

The blue jay smashed the cup, "GET OUT!" He yelled, grabbing the man by the collar of his shirt, he pulled him up the stairs and kicked him out. "IF YOU EVER COME BACK! I'LL KILL YOU!"

Everyone stared at the blue jay, he shrugged it off and went behind the counter, "Where's Margaret?"

Their cook, Clark, pointed at the meat freezer, "She ran into there"

Mordecai ran in to see her sobbing in the corner, "Margaret…what are you doing? You'll freeze to death" He propped the door open with box full of cream. S

She waved it off, "Who cares.""I do" Mordecai responded, walking over to her, "what's a matter?"

Margaret sniffled, "He's right…I am a stupid skank"

The blue jay sat down, the ice was really cold, he pulled Margaret into his lap, she cried in his wings, he felt a smile grow on his face. "No you're not. You're not stupid, you're not a skank. Hell, that guy was stupid!"

She smiled a little bit, then sniffled, "I'm sorry for running away"

He held her, "It's ok to run away sometimes, but you have to have a reason"

Margaret stared into his eyes, giving him a kiss. They kissed passionately until Clark opened the door, "Sorry to ruin a moment but people still need their food"

Margaret got up, "Ok" She walked away making Mordecai smile and follow.

The cardinal got back to work, serving people with their drinks and food. Since it was early afternoon, late morning, a lot of little kids and stay-at-home moms were there, along with guys leaving the nightshift of their job, and a few college kids.

Rosie was quietly drawing in her book, secluding herself from everyone.

Margaret took another order only for the door to open, Mordecai recognized him, "Hey! I thought I told you! You're not allowed here anymore!"

The man reached into his pocket, pulling out a gun, "EVERYBODY DOWN!"

People started screaming and getting under tables. Margaret ran to get Rosie, Mordecai hopped over the counter only to get a gun to the face. "What do you want!? Just get what ya want! Don't hurt anyone!" He warned.

The man turned, "I don't want money…" He pointed the gun at the cardinal, "Jack sends his regards" He smiled at Margaret.

She gulped, standing right in front of Rosie. Mordecai shook his head, "I said you couldn't hurt anyone!"

The man shoved Mordecai to the ground, the man looked up, "Remember me Margaret?"

Images of the man circled her head, "H-Henry…"

Rosie looked up at her mom, then grabbed her mom's leg, "Mama?"

Henry smiled at the young bird, "Rosie! Daddy's been looking for ya"

Margaret backed away, slowly scooping her daughter up, "You're not getting near Rosie!"

Henry chuckled, "Your pathetic boyfriend really tried"

Mordecai was up off the ground, he stepped in front of Henry, "You're not touching her!"

A laugh came from the man, "You're really gonna stop me?! Rosie and Margaret are Jack's family! They need to go back! Margaret stole millions of dollars from Jack!"

The cardinal backed away, "Don't listen to him Mordecai!"

Mordecai listened to Margaret, "Bullshit" He muttered, he reached into his pocket, feeling the pen he'd use for orders.

Henry chuckled, "C'mon Margaret. You skank! Haven't you told Mordecai that you don't even know who Rosie's father is?!"

Margaret looked down a bit ashamed, Mordecai looked up, grabbing the pen, "AHHH!" He stabbed Henry in the chest.

Henry fell down, screaming, "YOU STAB ME! YOU STAB ME!"

Mordecai turned back to Margaret, "RUN! I GOT HIM!"

The cardinal lifted her daughter up, running out the back door. Rosie looked at her mom, then the ground. "Mama?"

Margaret felt like she was having a heart attack, "What's wrong Sweetie?" She asked, stopping.

Rosie pointed, "Dolly"

The cardinal face-palmed, as she quickly scooped of Rosie, she'd left her dolly behind, "Honey. I'm sorry but I'll get back later ok?"

Rosie nodded.

Mordecai pulled the pen out of Henry's chest, he reached over trying to grab the phone but Henry was quick. He pulled the trigger making Mordecai jump off the man.

The blue jay yelled, "EVERYONE GET OUT! HE ONLY WANTS ME!"

Everyone practically killed each other to get out. Mordecai backed into the wall, Henry had him cornered, with a gun.

Blood poured from Henry's chest, he showed no fear, "Now look who's a wimp" He cocked the gun, "don't worry. It's almost over…Margaret and Rosie will go back to where they belong"

Mordecai shook, thinking about Margaret's story, he looked off to the side of the wall to see a fire alarm. He scooted towards it, slowly, "What makes you think that?"

Henry chuckled, "Cause, we both know that no good tramp will be Jack's bride forever"

The blue jay was just in a arm's reach of the alarm, "She's never going back"

Henry laughed, "You seem to like this girl, ya know she's slept with all of us. All of the members"

"Members?" Mordecai questioned, scooting closer and closer.

A chuckle was replied, "I'm in a gang with Jack. How do you think he had millions of dollars. Of course he married Margaret just to get with her. She was going to be his prostitute" He smirked, "But, we found out she was to hit. Jack accidentally slapped her and called us and told us, 'It feels awesome! You should come by and beat her'"

Flashback:

"Open the door Margaret. We have a surprise for you" A member named Joe taunted.

Margaret's voice cried, obviously full of pain, "NO! You're just gonna hit me like Jack!"

Another member named Bruce yelled, "Margaret! Open the door or we'll break in and beat you worst"

The threat seemed to work, Margaret opened the door and was instantly pulled back in, tears streamed down her face. Bruce laid her on his lap, unbuckling his belt.

Margaret cringed, knowing what would happen. Bruce raised his belt, then slapped it against her. She screamed, "NO! STOP!"

Two more members, Carlos and Duncan, held her down so she wouldn't move, "Thanks guys" He slapped her again.

Margaret started to cry, "STOP! PLEASE!"

She screamed so loud Carlos chuckled, "My turn" He lifted her up, they'd treated her as if they were kids with a new toy. "Now you're gonna like this" He carried her off to Jack's bedroom.

Henry chuckled, "Dumb skank"

Jack walked into the room, "She's not cheap"

Mordecai stared at Henry, "Why are you telling me this?!"

Henry laughed, "And Rosie's now…what? Two? Once she's six, we'll start with her too"

Those images left a horrible sight for Mordecai, he quickly pressed the button, making the alarm beep and water pour down from the ceiling. He took off, dialing quickly 911.

Henry glared, "WE'RE YA HIDING!"

Mordecai made a run for the door and slid out, seeing Margaret. "Is he…?"

He shook his head, "We have to go…NOW!"

Rosie looked up, "Bah Dolly" She was lifted up.

Margaret held Mordecai's hand as they quickly walked to Mordecai's car and drove off.

Oh no! Henry and Jack found Margaret! I know this was a little bit short but I have a new chapter coming up! OK! Bye

-Ryan's out!
