Margaret cleaned the tables, she was really zoning out then coming back in. "Focus" She muttered to herself.
"Need some help?" A voice called from behind her.
Margaret turned, "Hi Mordecai. No I don't need any help"
He smirked, "Are you sure? You seemed to be needed some" His wings went down to her waist.
Her beak opened to object, "I…uh.."
Mordecai moved his wings for a moment to remove his shirt, Margaret was shocked, his muscles made her ooh. He wasn't a Muscle Man or anything more like a normal guy who happened to have strong arms. "Did I just turn you on?"
She blinked her eyes, "Mordecai.." She wanted to tell him no, but she couldn't stop thinking about him.
He pressed her against the table, "What do you say we test the table out"
Margaret gasped, "I…uh" His hands traced her apron. He untied it making her smile until she paused, "M-Mordecai, what about Rosie?! Where is she?"
The blue jay chuckled, "Don't worry. My friend's babysitting her. We have this shop to ourselves" He winked. He started going for her clothes making her gasp.
Once her shirt met the ground, she moaned, "Wait! Wait! Mordecai!"
He stared into her eyes, "Margaret. I'm gonna explode! I love you! And I'm gonna make you feel beautiful!"
The cardinal gasped again, she threw her wings around his neck, kissing him as hard as she could, "Prove it!" She murmured.
They began kissing quickly, the table shook a little. Mordecai ran his hand near her waist, "Don't worry Margaret. I'll never let you go"
She smiled, enjoying the touching and kissing. "I love you!" She cried, from excitement of the sensation. She was so used to being thrown on the bed and getting thrown around and beaten, this was a whole new thing for her.
Mordecai and her continued to make out, Margaret fingered his belt, hinting she wanted it off. In the middle of kissing, Margaret opened her eyes to see Jack in Mordecai's place. Her eyes widened, she backed away only to run into the table yet again. "JACK!"
He chuckled, "Isn't this a surprise" He grabbed Margaret by her waist, "Old times huh?"
She kicked and screamed, "NO!"
Margaret shot up, wrapping her wings around her body, she turned to see Rosie sleeping peacefully next to her. Rosie had cried and thrown a tantrum because Dolly wasn't given back, Margaret just let her lay down and sleep in Mommy's bed.
Margaret began to think about Mordecai, "Was I really about to have sex with him?" She blushed, thinking about the dream, "he seemed a bit sweet and dominant"
She got out of bed, heading to her kitchen to wake herself up, she felt her cheeks blushing when she saw him shirtless, "Under those coffee clothes lies a nice body"
Margaret began to think about her own body, "You really think he'd like someone who'd had a baby?" She lifted her shirt, "I am pretty fat"
"Mama! Dolly!" Rosie demanded from the hallway.
Margaret sighed, "Honey. I don't know what to tell you!"
Rosie crossed her wings over her chest, "Hm!" She sat herself down.
The cardinal sighed, and continued thinking about that dream. "It didn't mean anything!" She stirred her cup of coffee. "I mean, he's the neighbor. I shouldn't sleep with a neighbor. Maybe I was just trying to picture Mordecai and I ended up wanting him" She took a sip and thought about it, "Hmm"
Rosie was still pouting as she ate breakfast, "I miss Dolly!"Margaret sighed, "I know you do. Now c'mere" She lifted Rosie up and sat her next to the TV, "Just eat here while I take a shower" She turned on the TV. "I know it rots her brain but. I need some time alone" She quickly threw her clothes into the hamper, thinking about the blue jay.
"Ugh! Ok…he's pretty cute" She told herself, "Ok…maybe hot." She stepped into the shower, turning on the water.
Freezing water attacked her body making her scream and jump out. "AH! Fuckin cold water!" She looked to see shower was on hot. "What the hell!" She stuck her hand into the water to see it wasn't warming up, "Great!" She muttered.
She grabbed her bathrobe and wrapped it around herself, "*sigh*No hot water" She mumbled.
Rosie had cereal on her face with milk dripping from her chin, "Hi Mama" She waved.
Margaret sighed, "And you'll need a bath" She face-palmed. "I need five minutes of alone time! I swear I do" The cardinal suddenly came up with a idea, "I'll ask Mordecai" She changed her clothes and headed over.
She knocked to see the blue jay answer in his boxers, brushing his teeth, she blushed, "Uh. Hi" She awkwardly waved.
He took his toothbrush out of his mouth, "Hey…what's up?"
Margaret sighed, "There's no hot water in my apartment. Do you mind if Rosie and I shower over here?"
Mordecai shrugged, "Go ahead. I'll just…uh" He blushed, "Get dressed."
She nodded, "Yea. Ok" Awkwardly she walked back to her apartment.
After grabbing Rosie and a change of clothes, she headed back over there. The blue jay was now dressed in a grey and white plaid shirt with jeans, "Shower's right here" He led her to the bathroom.
Margaret lifted Rosie up, "Do you mind watching her for a bit?"
He nodded, "Not a prob" Rosie nearly jumped into his wings. "Whoa! Easy there!"
She giggled, grabbing his shirt, "Hi Blew!"
Mordecai chuckled, "Enjoy your shower. I'll watch her" He closed the door.
The cardinal started the water, then hopped in, the warm water attacked her body making her smile, "Finally"
Rosie was sat in front of the TV, "Uh. Anything you want" He chuckled.
The toddler looked at him, "Dora"
Mordecai changed the channel to Dora making her giggle, "That was easy"
Rigby opened his bedroom door, "Hey Mordecai…" He trailed off, looking at the kid, "Who's that?"
The blue jay looked down, "Oh that's Rosie" He pointed, "Margaret's daughter"
"Why the heck are you babysitting?! It's bro-time!" Rigby shouted, pissed off.
Mordecai rolled his eyes, "I'm not babysitting! Margaret's-Enough dude!" Rigby stopped him.
Rigby shook his head, "Ever since Margaret moved in! That's all you ever talk about! You're obsessed with her! What's so great about her!? Eileen's a senior in college! She's a waitress!"
Mordecai gave him a sock in the shoulder, "Will you shut up!? Margaret's taking a god damn shower!" He lowered his voice, "And I'm not obsessed with her! Now shut up and be nice!"
The raccoon mumbled, "Shut up and be nice" He walked into the kitchen, pissed.
Margaret finished her shower, only to wrap a towel around herself, the dream of the blue jay filled her mind again. She bit her lip, trying to not give in. "Don't do it! Don't…" She stopped thinking and just gave in.
Rosie laid on the floor, watching the cartoons. She was completely hooked on the TV.
Mordecai looked at the clock, 9: 15, "Margaret's been in the shower for almost an hour" He walked over to the bathroom, just before he could put his hand on the door handle, he heard something.
"Ah.." It sounded like a whisper in pain. "Oh.."
Mordecai was completely confused by the noises, "Should I knock? Should I say something?"
"Mmm…Mordecai" The whisper giggled.
The blue jay made a even more confused face, "What the fuck?" He knocked, "Margaret?"
A heavy pant was heard, "Uh! Hey" Margaret called from behind the door.
Mordecai knew this would be awkward, "Uh. You alright there?"
She nodded, "Yea. I'm just…combing my hair"
The blue jay shrugged, "Uh…ok. Just…uh. Comb your hair" He headed off to get Rosie.
Margaret gasped, blushing bright red. "He heard me!" She face-palmed.
Quickly she got dressed and was in a better mood, "Hey there Rosie. It's your turn" She lifted Rosie up then headed into Mordecai's bathroom.
She started the water then started to undress Rosie. Mordecai came into the bathroom just as Margaret sat her in the tub, "Oh hi"
The blue jay sat next to her, "Uh. Hey" He smiled.
Rosie splashed the water making Margaret move, "No! Rosie!" She looked down, "Now my shirt's wet!" She scowled.
Rosie giggled, "Haha Mama!" Then splashed again.
Margaret sighed, unbuttoning her shirt, "Rosaline Mavis! Knock it off!" Margaret warned.
Mordecai stared at her, "Why are you taking off your shirt?"
Carelessly, Margaret threw it behind her, "I don't want to get my shirt wet."
He shrugged, "Makes sense" He honestly couldn't stop staring.
Margaret sat up on her knees, washing her daughter's head, "Tilt your head back" She instructed.
Rosie did so as Margaret scooped up some water and washed her hair. "Good girl"
Mordecai stared at Margaret, "You're a good mom"
A smile was replied, "Aw thanks Mordecai. You're a nice guy" Quickly, she went back to washing Rosie.
He blushed, "Uh…heh. Are you busy tonight?"
Margaret stopped washing Rosie's back to turn to him, "Am I what?" She asked, a little surprised at what he said.
The blue jay blushed, "A-are you b-busy t-tonight?" He repeated.
Margaret stared at him, giving him a look of concern, "Are…" She gave him a look, "are you asking me out?"
Rosie smiled, "Oooh!" She giggled.
Mordecai gulped, "Y-yea" He spoke in barely a whisper.
Margaret stared at him, "Uh.." She turned back to Rosie.
Rosie raised her wings, "Yea Mama" She giggled.
The blue jay saw how awkward she looked, "If you wanna stay friends that's-No" She stopped him, "I'm not busy tonight. What did you have in mind?"
He grinned a goofy smile. She said yes. "Uh…well…a" He rubbed the back of his neck, "A movie or something?"
Margaret giggled, "Sure. I'd love too…around six? Seven?"
He nodded, "Seven sounds good"
She smiled, "I'd like that" She lifted Rosie out of the tub, "Ok. Baby. Let's get you dressed"
*ring* *ring* *ring*
Mordecai groaned, running over and picking up his phone, "Hello?"
It was Benson, "Where are you!? I'm opening up shop in thirty minutes!"
The blue jay was shocked, "Oh! I'm sorry! I'm on my way!" He grabbed his work clothes, quickly changing into them.
Rigby watched from the couch, "Dude? Where are you going?"
"Work!" Mordecai slid his shirt over his head.
The raccoon seemed puzzled, "I thought it was robbed last night"
Mordecai nodded, "I thought Benson wasn't gonna open it! Dammit!" He slid his apron, "Margaret!" He raced to the bathroom.
She had just dried off Rosie, "What? Why are you screaming?"
Mordecai calmed down a bit, "The Coffee Shop's open today! He needs us. C'mon"
Margaret nodded, "Ok."
The Coffee Shop:
Mordecai was bored, nobody had come in. The shop looked like it was abandoned. Margaret went to go take a break with Rosie by the booth. The little red bird was running around, giggling as Margaret would chase her and laugh.
The blue jay chuckled, Margaret ran her fingers near Rosie's armpit making the little bird shriek then giggle, "MAMA!" She ran away again.
Margaret giggled, "Come here Missy!" She lifted Rosie up making the red birds giggle and laugh.
Mordecai smiled, Margaret really loved Rosie, the door opened making Margaret stand up, "Hello" She smiled.
It was three men, dressed in black jackets and jeans. One man was a brunette, wearing shades, the other was a raven with black and purple feathers, also wearing shades. The last man was a red robin, smoking a cigarette. They sat down, and opened the menus.
Margaret sat Rosie down for a minute, still trying to catch her breath from laughing and running. "Hello there. I'll be your waitress. What can I get for you this afternoon?"
The raven chuckled, "Gee Margaret. I don't know" He looked at her.
Margaret noticed her nametag and shook it off, "Ok. Well. Just get me when you're ready" She began to walk away only for a voice to yell.
"I see you don't remember us Mrs. Tompkins"
Margaret stopped in her tracks, "Oh shit" She muttered.
Rosie ran to her mom, clinging to her coffee shop skirt, "Mama"
Mordecai gave the men a stare, he was full of different emotions, anger, hate, disgust, and most of worry. "Who are you people!? And why are you messing with Margaret?" He walked towards the men.
Margaret grabbed his shoulder, "Mordecai! You don't know what you're dealing with!" She met his eyes, "Don't do this"
"Listen to the woman!" The robin yelled, "Besides! She belongs to me!"
Margaret bent down and scooped up Rosie, the little red bird didn't seem to notice the men, "Mama sippy"
Jack stood up, "Well, well. I see you've taken good care of our daughter"
Margaret ran her fingers through Rosie's hair, "She's…" She trailed off, "She's not your daughter! She's my daughter"
The raven smirked, "Whoa! Jack's baby girl doesn't wanna talk to him!"
Rosie made a fuss, "I wan sippy!" She demanded.
Margaret quickly backed away, "I should…probably feed her" She ran behind the counter.
Jack chuckled, "So so, Mordecai Quintel. I did a little research on ya" He lifted a briefcase.
Mordecai gave him a stare, "No matter what is in that! I'm not letting you harm Margaret or Rosie! Henry told me your little plan!" He spat.
Jack laughed, opening the briefcase to reveal money, "This change your mind?"
Mordecai stared at the money, all one hundreds stacked. He shook his head, "No."
The raven lifted a backpack, "Remember your college days Mordecai?" He dumped the backpack out, "CJ? Roxanne? Debra?"
Mordecai remembered all those girls, once flames now ex's. "Yea why?"
The man finally spoke, "What about that rape charge? Wouldn't want Margaret to find out about it"
It was awkwardly quiet, "I was stupid! I was only 19! The girl was only 17"
Jack chuckled, "Listen Mordecai. You're a dude, I'm a dude. How bout this…" He lifted the rape charge papers and briefcase, "This is all yours! And…we get Margaret. You can keep Rosie and anything but…that's all we want"
Mordecai shook his head, "I'm never letting you harm Margaret!"
Jack smirked, "Well. I have a little mission for ya. Bring Margaret by the clock tower at midnight. She trusts you. So. Take her there, lure her out of the car or leave her in the car. And we'll handle the rest. I can go to court and make this charge a fake so it'll be off your record. You could go back to school, get a better job. Hell. If you don't want Rosie we'll take her too. We'll get her out of the way"
Mordecai knew if he kept saying no, they'd bug him all day, "I'd…I'll do it" He stuttered.
Jack smirked, "Pleasure doin business with ya" He closed the briefcase and headed out with his men.
"Think he'll do it?" The man asked, as they hopped into his car,
Jack shook his head, "That's why I need you, Bruce and Carlos to go after them tonight!" He scowled, "She stole my money and I'll knock her teeth in"
The blue jay ran to the back of the shop, "Margaret! Margaret!" He opened the door to hear a scream.
Margaret had a pan in her hand, Rosie was slurping her sippy cup in the corner, "GET AWAY FROM ME!" She swung making Mordecai duck.
Mordecai raised his hands, "Stop! Listen to me!" She swung again making him move to the side, "LISTEN!"
The cardinal took another swing, "I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! AND GIVE YOUR BODY TO JACK!" She swung only to hit the wall.
She shook the pan only to realize it was stuck, "Fuck.."
Mordecai grabbed her wrists making her let go of the pan, "STOP! GET OFF OF ME!"
He shoved her against the wall, pinning her hands next to her head, "Will you listen to me!? Jack's not going to get you! I have a plan!"
Margaret had tears streaming down her face, "What is wrong with you!? Why did you do that!? Please promise me he won't get Rosie"
Mordecai nodded, "He won't. Now listen to me"
The apartment building:
Margaret moved the last box into Mordecai's apartment, "Are you sure? Jack's very smart"
Mordecai snorted, "Let's see how this'll work" He unpacked it in Rigby's room, "You sure have a lot of clothes" He walked back to the door, "Rigby?"
The raccoon opened the door, "Yea? I'm all unpacked! It looks like I've live here for years"
Mordecai gave him the thumbs up then headed inside, "Ok. Now let's put Rosie to bed" Margaret lifted her up.
They couldn't risk Rosie crying and playing, Margaret stared at Mordecai, "What if this kills her?!"
Mordecai shook his head, "My dad did this to me when I was younger" He poured a powder into her sippy cup, "She'll go right to sleep and won't cry"
Margaret had a bad gut feeling, she shook up the bottle making Rosie smile, "Milk? Juice?"
The cardinal laid next to Rosie, "It's juice my little angel" She handed the drink to her.
Rosie took eager sips to have a sip of apple juice. Margaret watched, smiling, "Goodnight Rosie" She kissed her daughter's forehead.
Rosie was knocked out cold. Margaret stood up, "Ok. Now what?"
Mordecai heard a knock, he looked through the peephole then answered, "CJ! Thank god!" He closed the door.
The cloud girl stood there, "Uh? Why did you call me? And who's she?" She asked, very confused.
Mordecai pointed, "That's Margaret…my girlfriend. We need to help her!"
CJ nodded, "Sure. I'll help"
He pulled her into his bedroom. I need you to pretend you just got out of the shower when you hear men talking ok?"
CJ looked a little uneasy, "Could I use a towel to cover myself?"
He nodded, "Yes! Yes! Just please! Look convincing! Margaret's life depends on it!" The blue jay raced to Margaret, "I'll explain" He yelled back.
Margaret held Rosie in her wings, "What about her?"
Mordecai carried her to the window, "Get out on the fire escape"
The cardinal crawled out the window, taking Rosie into her wings, "Ok. Thanks for your help Mordecai"
He smiled, "Why would I let you go?"
She pulled him into a kiss, "Thanks my hero" She sat down, cradling Rosie with a blanket. "Let's hope this works"
Mordecai turned on the TV to start playing videogames, he tried to make it look like he'd been playing for a long time.
The door opened with a pissed off look on Jack's face, "Where is she?!"
Mordecai jumped, "Where's who?"
Jack snarled, "Don't play dumb! Where's Margaret!?"
The blue jay shrugged, "I tried to get her but she's long gone. I went to her apartment and she wasn't there"
"Bullshit!" The raven yelled. "She's in the apartment isn't she?!"
A voice yelled, "No! She lives down the hall from Mordecai!" It was Henry.
Jack glared, "Carlos! Bruce!"
The raven and brown haired man stepped up, "Yes?" The raven replied.
Jack pointed, "Watch him! Make sure he doesn't move!" He pointed at Henry, "Where's Margaret's apartment?"
Henry knocked on the door, "Open up Margaret! We know you're in there"
The door opened to reveal a small brown furred raccoon, "May I help you?"
The men were baffled, "Who the fuck are you?!" Jack yelled.
Rigby glared, "I'm Rigby!"
Henry shook his head, "No! Where's Margaret?!"
The raccoon gave him a look, "Dude. I don't know who you're talking about! Go ask my neighbor Mordecai. He probably knows a Margaret"
Jack yelled in frustration, "THAT'S IT! MORDECAI!" He ran over to Mordecai's apartment, "WHERE IS SHE! I KNOW SHE'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE!"
Mordecai shrugged. "I still don't know who you're talking about"
Henry snarled, "I bet she's hiding around here" He ran towards the bedrooms. He kicked open a bedroom door to see a cloud girl, dressed in a towel.
"AHH! MORDECAI!" The cloud girl screamed.
Mordecai ran towards the girl, "What's wrong..?"
CJ pointed, "What's wrong!? There's a guy in my bedroom!"
The blue jay grabbed Henry, "That's my girlfriend! You honestly don't wanna go near her when she's pissed"
Henry saw Mordecai's bedroom, he ran towards it and kicked it open. Nothing. It was dark and silent, "Not here either Jack"
Jack glared, "Well. I guess you're off the hook then Mordo. She ran away again. What a bitch" He patted Mordecai's back, "I'm sorry for doubting ya! You're a good guy."
Margaret held Rosie in her wings, listening to everything, until Rosie began to stir, "Mama?" She asked.
The cardinal gasped, Rosie was supposed to stay asleep for all night, she covered her mouth. She'd made a noise. Her heart started to beat very fast. "He's going to find us! Oh shit! Oh shit!"
Rosie shivered, "Cold Mama" She buried herself deeper into Margaret's chest.
Margaret found Rosie's bottle, "Drink" She whispered, putting the bottle next to Rosie's mouth.
Rosie opened her beak and continued to drink the sleepy drug. Soon enough Rosie went back to sleep.
Jack headed out the door, "Guess we'll se…" He stopped looking at Mordecai's beak. "Hey Carlos…Henry"
The two men walked towards the avian. "What's wrong?"
Jack grabbed Mordecai by his hand, tugging him to the kitchen area. Henry pulled Mordecai's wings up, while Carlos and Jack looked at Mordecai. "Been kissing anyone?"
The blue jay nodded, "Yea…my girlfriend" "Shit! They found Margaret's lipstick"
Jack chuckled, "Did Margaret happen to kiss you?"
He shook his head, "No. I just like her as a friend"
Henry slowly let Mordecai up, "Ok. We'll see ya around Mordy"
They headed out, Jack turned to Mordecai while Henry and Carlos shot smug looks at each other.
Jack plucked a blue feather from Mordecai, "See ya" He smirked, leaving the apartment.
Mordecai closed the door, "Finally" He waited to hear them leaving and heading down the stairs.
Margaret climbed inside, "Are they?"
He nodded, taking her into his wings, "You're safe now"
She giggled, adjusting Rosie, "Thank you so much"
Mordecai gave her a kiss, "Not a problem. You should probably get some rest"
Margaret nodded, "I know I should" She carried Rosie out, "Goodnight" She walked into the spare room.
Mordecai felt his heart fluttering, "I'm in love"
Oh boy! Aw Mordecai has feelings for Margaret. Speaking of Margaret, what was with her dream? Weird! Think Jack will be back! Lets go see! In chapter 6
Ryan's out
